Health matters in hiring and retaining personnel
report
Health is the most important issue when an employer is deciding whether to hire a worker, according to a new study from the Netherlands. The research looked at the results of a ‘vignette’ study on employer preferences when hiring or retaining personnel. It also showed that when an employer is deciding whether to retain an employee who is on a short-term contract, health problems or absence for other reasons are likely to be a deciding factor. However, excellent performance can compensate for ill-health
