Conducted “stay” and “exit” interviews with employees. Compiled data and concluded that a lack of career development opportunities, not monetary concerns, was the primary reason for on-going attrition. As a result, the organization created career development, succession, and mentoring programs to support employees and reduce turnover. Workforce Planning – Compiled and analyzed data identifying a critical need for Technologists over a five year period due to retirement and attrition. Created and executed an action plan that included developing stronger ties with both SAIT and NAIT, attending all campus Career Fairs, and emphasizing Fortis as an employer of choice. Recruited outstanding candidates by accentuating the organization’s leading edge technology, long-term career development opportunities, and organizational support. Implemented remote area signing bonuses and built community ties to further develop the Fortis brand.
