Attracting & Retaining Talent Workshop

Programme Overview

Recruiting and retaining talent in Ireland is becoming increasingly difficult. In a recent survey, 80% of respondents reported having experienced skills shortages in the last year. In addition, two out of every five SMEs believe one of the biggest obstacles to growth was their lack of resources and training in how to attract the right staff. Enterprise Ireland has developed the Attracting & Retaining Talent workshops to support client companies in response to these challenges. We understand that, in order to become more innovative and flexible, companies must develop robust and sustainable recruitment and retention programmes.

The workshop is targeted at CEOs, HR Managers and other senior managers responsible for recruitment, employee development and engagement.
