#TChat Recap: Why Sourcing Referrals Can Improve Retention

This week the TalentCulture team discussed why sourcing referrals can improve retention with this week’s guests: Jessica Miller-Merrell, SPHR, President/CEO of Xceptional HR, author, speaker, HR professional, and workplace social media expert; and John Sumser, Principal Analyst at KeyInterval Research and editor at HRExaminer.com.

You want brand advocates! If an employee is satisfied at work, whose performance is consistent, and of course is rewarded fairly, then he or she is much more likely to suggest referrals.

Listen to the recording and review the Twitter chat highlights below to learn more.
