Listen "124 — Are we training people for their next job?"
Episode Synopsis
"What if we train people and they leave? What if we don't, and they stay?" This phrase is a terrible cliché, but it has some truth. So this week on the GoodPractice Podcast we're digging into it to explore the relationship between recruitment and development. Ross G and Owen are joined by Radial Recruitment's Susan Lindsay and CIPD's David Hayden to discuss. If you'd like to share your thoughts on this episode, you can find us on Twitter @RossGarnerGP, @OwenFerguson and @HaydenDavidhrd. Susan is available on LinkedIn.
