A good content strategy is essential for your recruitment and retention challenges.

The graph below is taken from a BDC study on current labour shortage issues in Canada.

As you can see, the next decade will be critical, with almost zero labour force growth. This means that it will be difficult for companies to recruit, grow, and it will become essential for them to develop a strong employer brand in order to also increase their employee retention rates.

Competition between employer brands will be fierce.

What about content in all this?

It is at the heart of a strong employer brand. It ensures that you attract the right candidates, that your hires are made with the right people and that they want to stay with you thanks to a clear, strong and transparent communication.

These issues are at the heart of many of our recent initiatives at Toast. We can see that the problem is very real and is becoming more and more critical.
