Careers Corner: SA companies struggling to retain their top employees

Loading player...
South African companies that are failing to create an ideal employee environment will struggle to attract and retain their top talent putting their businesses at a distinct disadvantage, according to new research from Remchannel.
The war for talent has driven SA employers to review their employee value proposition (EVP) – the reward philosophy of the organisation to attract and retain key talent which is crucial to the success and growth of the organisation.
Research conducted by Remchannel during 2021 found that just under 50% of respondents across industry sectors indicated that it remained a challenge to define or change the current EVP to keep up with the changes in the world of work and employee values.
