TY - JOUR T1 - Employee Recruitment and Retention: An Overview from A National Perspective JF - Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) JO - JOA SP - 1 LP - 4 DO - 10.48044/jauf.1990.001 VL - 16 IS - 1 AU - Peter E. Gerstenberger Y1 - 1990/01/01 UR - http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/16/1/1.abstract N2 - Commercial arborists rank recruitment and retention collectively as the third largest problem they face.

There are a variety of techniques the business manager can employ to alleviate the problem; however, each technique is not suitable to all situations. Doing nothing will, at best, only perpetuate the problem. Recruiting and retention must become ongoing functions of business management. ER -
