Recruitment The First Aspect Of The Training Essay

Recruitment The first aspect of the training plan is the budget. The organization has an expected net revenue of $1.3 million. The current workforce is 650 people. There will be 20% turnover, and 20% expansion, meaning that there will be 260 new people that will need to be trained. This means that the training cost per employee needs to be fairly low, in order that the company can remain profitable. For example, a cost of $100 per person will cost the company $26,000, which will probably be noticeable on the bottom line. With only $300,000 more in revenue, the new people will only generate an incremental $2,300 per employee, which means that the company will need to get them up to speed quickly so that they can be more productive -- and the company also needs to ensure that turnover is reduced as well.

The recruitment strategy will therefore focus on a few different elements of recruitment. The first is that we want input from our existing employees. An internal recruitment strategy has a lot of appeal, in that internal recruitment allows the company to leverage the employees that are dedicated enough to remain with the company to bring in new employees. Also, closer social networks within the company should result in lower turnover rates. In addition, turnover results from situations where the job expectations of the new hire do not align with the actual job, but that expectations are much more realistic when an internal recruitment processed is used -- the existing employees can communicate in advance to the recruit a realistic picture of the company and the job (Moser, 2005). Thus, positions for external candidates…
