According to the recruiting firm Korn Ferry, 80% of retailers plan to hire the same amount of seasonal staff as they did last year – or more! Thanks to the lowest unemployment rate the nation has seen in 16 years and the rising gig economy, 2017 has proven challenging for employers to fill such positions with the right talent. With the processes of identifying and hiring new top performing employees growing more difficult and expensive, what can your organization do to retain the top performers from your seasonal workforce for future years?

In this episode of HR Break Room, Caleb and Chelsea talk with Muniz and Stone about:

• the financial and practical benefits of retaining seasonal employees for the future
• the importance of establishing a culture that inspires them to return
• strategies to stay in touch with these top performers during the off-season

Learn more about strategies for hiring today's top talent in our Discover Better Candidates by Automating the Recruitment Process white paper.

Building a top-performing organization is challenging enough, but how do you continue to improve after you’ve mastered your trade or industry? In his new book, The Potential Principle, leadership expert Mark Sanborn reveals strategies for doing even better once you already have given your best.

In this episode of HR Break Room, Caleb and Chelsea talk with Sanborn about:

• the importance of having a philosophy that guides and drives your organization
• the benefits an encore performer can bring to your company
• why "being better" is a more powerful motivator than "being the best"
