Savvy business owners understand the true value of hardworking employees. And yes, hiring “Rock Stars” are one of the most important things you can do to put together a great team, right? However, the second most important thing is to retain those great employees.
It is surprising that job hopping is prevalent in South Africa in spite of the country’s 29% unemployment rate. A few short years ago employees were grateful to have a job and to do whatever it takes to keep it. Turns out that the market is much different today.

Have a happy, healthy day!
