Key takeaways

Becoming an employer of choice will mean existing staff feel comfortable referring friends and family members for jobs within your organisation. But being an employer of choice is not all about rates of pay. Things like a strong, supportive culture, leadership style and employee appreciation and engagement all affect how your employees perceive your organisation, and how likely they are to refer friends for jobs.
