Business, industry and trade

Staff incentives

There is more to attracting employees than good pay. A range of factors influences job seekers:

• a straightforward application process
• an enjoyable workplace culture and environment
• remuneration and upfront salary
• training and development opportunities
• good work-life balance with flexible hours and work arrangements.

Advertising for staff

A well-constructed advertisement is important when trying to find the best person for the job. When advertising a new position:

1. Tell a concise story about your business, the position on offer and the incentives and rewards available.
2. Where possible offer incentives such as health insurance discounts or childcare assistance.
3. Always find a competitive advantage - eg extra benefits your competitors are unlikely to offer.
4. Be aware that the reputation of your business and its position in the community can play an important role in attracting the right person.
