Employer Support Workshop - Attracting Staff

Building a Stronger South Tyneside Together

There are today more people of working-age who are economically inactive for reasons of ill-health and disability than ever before.

Employers already have members of their workforce who are living and working with health conditions.

By hiring and retaining individuals from underrepresented groups employers can unlock significant benefits.

Claire Cook, South Tyneside Council’s Business Employment Support Officer, can offer tailored support to help local employers attract and retain the right staff. Claire will be delivering three free, practical workshops for businesses in South Tyneside, offering practical information and guidance to support local businesses to recruit well, attract and retain staff.

Attracting the right candidates is key to your business growth. In today’s recruitment market, being an employer of choice can set you apart from local competitors.

Join Claire for an interactive workshop designed to help employers attract the right talent, by advertising in smarter ways, by widening your recruitment pool by recruiting inclusively and by showcasing what makes your organisation a great place to work.

The workshop will include:

• Impartial advice on recruitment channels including access to local colleges and training providers
• Techniques to strengthen employer branding and values
• How to attract local candidates and advice on inclusive job advertising
• Tips on creating positive employee engagement
