Many companies are adopting an 'employer of choice' strategy, offering a variety of employee benefits in an attempt to attract and retain quality staff. However, most are adopting this strategy in a superficial way.

Attracting and Retaining Talent offers a practical roadmap for developing a new, more productive workplace culture; one that examines the employment relationship, reflects the changing needs of the modern employee, and – at the same time - the interests of the progressive organisation. This new way of relating is the cornerstone of being an employer of choice and for attracting the most talented workforce.
