192: Recruit a Team That Loves to Give Back - a podcast by Rea & Associates

Finding and retaining top talent continues to be a major challenge for nearly all businesses, so on this episode of unsuitable, we're going to talk about the unexpected tools businesses already have at their disposal when it comes to recruiting and retention.

A professional in human resources management, Ron Guisinger serves as a senior consultant with the Benefactor Group, where he provides clients with leadership governance, executive transition, succession planning, and general HR consulting services. Ron explains how businesses that promote a culture of giving back can have more success when it comes to recruiting and retaining top talent.

Attracting & Retaining Talent: Why is it important?

Ron has worked in both the for-profit sector and non-profit sectors and he’s seen first-hand that it doesn’t matter what industry or sector one is in – attracting, retaining, and engaging high-performing talent has a significant and direct impact on the bottom line.

But, as many business owners and hiring managers already know, really good talent is in short supply, and every industry has niche roles that can be especially difficult to fill. So, once you find someone who fits, you want to do everything you can to keep them and creating an engaging business culture is key.

But how does a business create an engaged workforce?

Create a culture of philanthropy.

If you are a business owner, hiring manager, or a talented individual who likes to give back, this episode will help answer the following questions:

• How do you find the right person (or how do you know if you have found the right person)?
• What are some ways – traditional and out-of-the-box – that businesses can find and retain talent?
• How can philanthropy systems factor into finding and retaining talent?
