Definition
Attracting, hiring, and retaining quality employees is vital to any organization. However, without a continued focus on those tenets, the pool of applicants may diminish, or service-minded people may pursue other career alternatives. Therefore, the City of Bartlett aspires to establish a continuous and evolving recruitment and retention effort for the next generation of employees.
Analysis
According to recent research, approximately 76% of employees separate within the first year of employment. However, if employees can complete that initial year on the job, that retention rate rises to roughly 90%. The City of Bartlett has traditionally exceeded the industry standard for retention, and the current tenure for a full-time employee is approximately 10 years. Through 2025, 83.7% of full-time employees completed their initial year. These results fall short of the target of 90%, and continued efforts will be made to ensure related measures are consistently implemented to maintain this standard.
