R2R™ (Recruit to Retain)* is an additional process and methodology developed to assist managers in recruiting with retention as the long-term goal. How a manager interviews, sets the selection criteria and researches each candidate is critical to a successful long-term relationship. Then once they are hired the programs and culture is assessed for the impact on the success of retention. Developing a custom R2R™ program is the foundation that managers need and Ruck-Shockey Associates, Inc. can provide.

Indications that your recruiting process needs a refreshing look-compare your program:

	Always	Sometimes	Never
It takes over two months to fill any position
Turnover is higher than 20%
During an evaluation strategic personal growth goals are shared with every employee
At least 70% of your staff is crossed trained
Your staff leaves work each day having had a 'fun' day
At least 5% of your budget is dedicated to training and rewards

If you answered "sometimes" or rarely to any of these questions, then the R2R™ program can help to improve your retention success.
