Best Employer Awards 2009 to be announced

WA Business News has launched the WA Best Employer Awards for the first time this year. A well known initiative in other large cities, it is fantastic to see this “people-focused” event come to a city that prides itself on quality of life. Briscoe Search & Consulting is one of the major sponsors of the awards.

On the WABN website, they explain what companies entering the Best Employer Awards participate by engaging in the Employee Feedback Survey, a uniquely designed survey developed for the WA business market with a strong emphasis on attraction and retention of valuable employees.

“Retention is the ability of a company to keep those employees that are important to both short and long term success. Recruitment is about attracting candidates wanting to stay & perform the best to their ability within your organisation. These are the people who identify and protect your organisation’s retention strengths against your competitors.” The winners will be announced at a Gala Luncheon on Wednesday 29th July at the Hyatt.
