Employee Recruitment and Retention: An Overview from a National Perspective    (View PDF)

Peter E. Gerstenberger

Abstract: Commercial arborists rank recruitment and retention collectively as the third largest problem they face. There is every indication that as the labor market tightens over the next 5-10 years, the problem of finding and keeping good help will only become more serious unless action is taken. There are a variety of techniques the business manager can employ to alleviate the problem; however, each technique is not suitable to all situations. Doing nothing will, at best, only perpetuate the problem. Recruiting and retention must become ongoing functions of business management.
