ATTRACTING and then retaining the best staff is key to the success of any company.
That was the message from Brightwater Recruitment Specialists’ manager and HR specialist Stephanie Mulholland as it was announced that the firm is to once again be the headline sponsor of the Chartered Institute of Person-nel Development (CIPD) Northern Ireland Awards.
Ms Mulholland said: “At Brightwater, we are thrilled to be headline sponsor for a third year. This is the highlight of the year for HR professionals and it’s a fantastic opportunity to celebrate excellence in the local industry.”
She continued: “With renewed economic confidence over the past 18 months, we’ve seen a continued emphasis on the hiring of HR specialists. Companies are conscious that to perform at optimum levels, attracting and then retaining the best people is absolutely key. We’ve seen our clients put a real onus on employee engagement, wellbeing initiatives, learning and develop-ment, as well as benchmarking of compensation and benefits.”
