David, this issue of staff turnover has been brewing for a while. I assume you've had time to read the report from the consultants we called in to look at the problem? And I was horrified to see that turnover of staff is now up to 45% a year. Can we put our heads together and see what we can come up with? Yes, I've read the report and I agree we need to deal with this fairly urgently. Now, I'm aware that our pay rates have not been competitive for a while, but we still seem to be able to recruit, so we need to look at what happens when people actually start here. They seem to become unhappy when they realise how much we require of them - and in fairly difficult circumstances as well. I think most staff are conscious of how essential they are to our success, but that's clearly not enough. What's your view? |
