New system launched to retain employees across sectors

26/07/2011

Minister for business, Mark Prisk has announced a new online system, Talent Retention Solution (TRS), which has been designed to help to match skilled employees facing redundancy to UK companies in growing sectors of advanced manufacturing and engineering who are recruiting.

The Talent Retention Solution website is targeted at companies and organisations across the advanced manufacturing and engineering sectors. It will initially be focused on defence employees seeking redeployment and companies who are recruiting. It can be found at: http://www.talentretention.biz/

The system is the result of work undertaken by the Skills and Jobs Retention Group2 (SJRG) and Semta (the Sector Skills Council for Science, Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies) to support defence engineers ‘who may be struggling to find work in today's difficult economic climate'.

The TRS system will provide live data broken down by skills and geography and will become fully operational by January 2012, when it is expected that over 1500 employers across the UK will have signed up to the system, ranging from large organisations in each sector to the smallest SMEs.
