Here to Stay: Tips and Tools to Hire, Retain and Advance Hourly-Wage Workers

by Carol Clymer and Laura Wyckoff
May 2007, 95 pages


Much has been written about retaining high performers and upper management. But where can businesses go for advice about keeping their lesser-skilled, hourly-wage workers? P/PV has addressed the gap with this new guide. Based on the practices of businesses that value their workers, Here to Stay offers a series of cost-effective actions, including hiring the right people, welcoming them, retaining them and developing their talents for the company's benefit.

    Here to Stay is ideal for:
  • Owners of small and medium-size businesses
  • Human resources staff
  • Managers or shift foremen
  • Workforce development organizations
Workforce organizations can use the guide to understand business practices that keep lower-income workers on the job; to generate ideas to help employer partners who are experiencing high turnover; to provide content for newsletters, presentations or workshops for the business community; and as a resource—and a thank-you—to businesses that hire their job seekers.
