Ensuring the availability of and retaining skilled staff : a report for Monitor

Abstract

"The topic 'Fachkräftesicherung' (engl. ensuring the availability of qualified staff) has gained importance in the public debate over the last few years. Here great relevance is laid on retaining staff.<br> Availability and retention of staff are key factors towards maintaining the competitivity of Germany as a business location.<br> Establishments can attempt to counteract the risk of potential shortages of skilled workers by using a wide spectrum of in-house personnel measures. The current report evaluates current data drawn from the so-called Linked Personnel Panel (LLP) which is representative throughout Germany.<br> The results of the first and second waves of the survey are presented in relation to strategies to ensure that skilled staff are retained and to in-house instruments geared towards keeping staff within the company".
