Course overview
Legal recruitment has seen many trends and changes over the years, but none more so than those prompted by the global pandemic. Statistics show that the shortage of talent and limited number of applicants for roles has shifted the emphasis towards retaining staff in what was otherwise a fluid and active legal market.
This seminar will focus on the challenges for the in-house legal department in building a happy, efficient, loyal and committed team through targeted staff recruitment and employee retention. It will focus especially on the factors that both attract and retain good staff and make for an enduring and successful working environment.
