XpertHR is running a short benchmarking survey on the recruitment, engagement and retention of young workers.
The research looks at candidate attraction and selection methods that employers use when recruiting young workers, how employers approach management and retention, and how organisations measure employee engagement among this younger generation.
It also covers labour turnover rates among young workers, and how these compare with labour turnover rates for the organisation as a whole.
For the purposes of this survey, young workers are defined as those aged between 16 and 24, excluding graduates.

Previous XpertHR research on recruiting young workers – conducted in 2008 – found that employers cited online advertising, work experience and local newspaper advertising as the three most effective ways of finding young workers. The three most effective criteria for selecting young workers were attitude to work, potential and performance at interview.
The survey closes on 30 November 2016.
