Even if employee retention is your top priority, it might not be enough


Even if employee retention is your top priority, it might not be enough

Are you keeping your best faculty and staff engaged?

While 46 percent of human resources professionals say employee retention is their top priority, engagement and morale still remain in dire conditions.*

  • Only 16% of employees feel engaged
  • 73% of employees are actively disengaged
  • 37% of employees are looking for new jobs
  • 73% are open to hearing about new opportunities

Fortunately, PeopleAdmin — the talent management solutions provider that has partnered with higher education institutions for over 16 years and currently serves more than 700 colleges and universities — introduced three new tools designed to help you overcome this challenge by engaging both current employees and talented candidates.
The tools include:

  1. Continuous progress notes to empower and encourage supervisors and employees to share meaningful, bidirectional feedback more easily and consistently — a practice known to positively influence employee motivation and retention.
  2. Passive candidate engagement tools, which send prospective candidates targeted, automated communications designed to keep them engaged throughout the candidate life cycle.
  3. Performance dashboard for supervisors to simplify task management and provide easy access and greater visibility into employees’ past, present and future performance.

Higher education leaders already using the new tools rave about the advantages they bring.
“Our supervisors love the dashboard,” said Shannon Phillips, assistant director of technology and compensation specialist at the University of Arkansas. “It lets them see exactly where something is without having to follow up or ask anyone a question. Supervisors log in and view the status right away — it’s seamless and saves a lot of time.”
Customers similarly praise the new passive candidate recruitment tools.
“It keeps our university at the forefront of candidates’ minds,” said April Davis, background and support services manager for the division of human resources at the University of South Carolina. “If a new job comes up in a field they’re interested in, the applicant will automatically be informed. It takes a lot of work off our recruiters’ plates — they don’t have to rely only on referrals, cold calls and job boards.”
We’re confident these tools will benefit your institution just as much as they do Shannon and April, but you don’t have to take our word for it.
