SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
SkillSurvey, Inc., is an on-line automated software utilized to conduct employment reference checks in a consistent, timely, and cost-effective manner and will provide Natividad hiring managers with a comprehensive candidate report to evaluate the candidates being considered. Natividad is currently requesting to augment our services to include Employee Exit Surveys. SkillSurvey provides valuable insight on reasons for leaving and feedback that will be used to improve engagement and retention of staff.
Natividad is not currently capturing this information upon employee separation. With a trusted third party administrator of our program, it will enable Natividad Leadership to collectively develop a plan of action for any areas of concern.
