Abstract
Implicit in the statement ‘our people are our biggest asset’ is that the people are the right people and, therefore, recruiting the right people in the first place is an essential corporate activity. It is also a continual process: in the UK the average staff turnover rate is approximately 15% per annum according to XpertHR and one third of UK organisations experience staff turnover rates above 21% per annum.
