New Employee Retention Guide Released For Employers In Ireland’s Fintech And Financial Services Industries

By Paul Smyth, Managing Director, Top Tier Recruitment

The ‘War for Talent’ is very much on and we see it every day.

Retaining a talented and fully engaged workforce is key to Ireland’s position in the global economy.

Locally, talent is more fluid across industries than ever before.

Within the FinTech and financial services industries, you are no longer just looking at your direct competitors, you are competing with Tech giants, Big Pharma, etc.

It may seem strange that a recruitment consultancy would want to encourage retention, but we actively encourage companies to do whatever they can to create a workplace where people want to stay – it is a ‘win-win’. When clients work hard to look after their staff, to engage them, and to make them feel valued, it makes our role (finding and attracting the best available talent for client employers) much smoother.

The issue of talent retention often rears its head in times of full employment. As job vacancies decrease and pressure from a skills shortage grows, companies look for ways to retain key staff and reduce staff turnover.

With Brexit, in particular, we have an opportunity as a country to attract both jobs and talent in FinTech and Financial Services and we have been involved with some great companies setting up operations here. We need to make sure that as an industry, we retain this talent and can compete with sometimes more glamorous brands.

We need to embrace this opportunity. I believe we have all the elements to attract both talent and jobs so let’s make sure it is sustainable by retaining both.
