Employee Engagement and Retention

 

Yorkworks' employee engagement and retention project, called KEEP (Keeping Employees through Employer Practices) was funded by the Ontario Government and highlights the best Human Resource practices for keeping and engaging employees. 

The tips and strategies shared by award-winning organizations known for their exemplary retention techniques have been compiled into a series of short and informative training videos that are resources for small and/or emerging companies.

These resources are offered through the Employment Ontario network free of charge to any employer who wants to improve their ability to retain good employees.
