Hiring

This is a high-level summary of our key findings from the March 2013 Small Business Pulse Survey. This survey concentrated on Employee Retention and Hiring. 

 
  • Strategic employees are retained most effectively through "improved communication & culture"
  • When asked to describe their current experience in retaining existing employees 65% of small business owners responded that it was easy to retain employees. 
  • All respondents surveyed agreed the most effective strategy for retaining existing employees is to "improve communication & culture"
  • Additional retention strategies include: "support flexible hours & work remotely", "increase performance-based compensation", "increase base total compensation","increase opportunities for training, continuing education and skill development". 
  • The biggest hiring challenge facing business owners is candidates "missing the necessary experience in our industry"
  • The most effective hiring channels for small business owners were through employee referrals, classified ads, LinkedIn, company website, or a professional recruiter.
