n Professional Accountant - Fasset sector encouraged to implement staff retention strategies

Abstract

"Skills retention is one of the greatest challenges that the Finance, Accounting, Management Consulting and Other Financial Services (Fasset) sector faces. While our sector goes to great lengths to attract learners, the sector is viewed as a training ground for other sectors. As a result, not only are qualified accountants being 'poached' by other sectors, but many small practices lose their learners to other sectors even before they can qualify," says Fasset CEO, Cheryl James.
