Explain how external labour market information is used to plain human resources within Haydon School?

Ways Haydon can retain staff:

• They can offer promotion to keep original staffs, which saves money my not having to advertise outside Haydon.
• Haydon can offer a good program for a career, which brings new staff in who will want to stay with them for a long time.
• Training on the job, which is convent and keep staff happy.
• Pay rises are good incentives to stay.

Haydons Human recourses can use this information from the labour market to try and prevent staff from leaving or make sure that they know when a member of staff is leaving and get a replacement for example retirement Haydon know when someone is going to retire so can find some one in time to fill the spot which save on using a cover teacher. Also if there is going to be a vacancy due to promotion before they are promoted they can make sure there is some one to fill their place. A move out side London is most likely to be because of house prices so Haydon can look at house prices and offer higher wages to retain them. Haydon can use tables from surveys like the London borough of hillingdon teacher vacancy survey summer 2003 but can also find out by giving an exit interview so that they can find out important information about things that could be wrong with Haydon so human recourses can make the changes needed.

This table shows the shortages of staff per subject Haydon can highlight the subject areas where staff are need and find skilled staff quickly so that they can have an edge over other school who wont be able to do a subject because they don’t have the skilled staff. Haydon should make sure they have enough science teachers, as that seems to be were there is a big teacher shortage.

I have looked at many different sections of the labour markets information, which Haydons HR function can use to improve the school. I looked at teacher vacancies in hillingdon, which Haydon can use to find how many jobs need filling in the area, also how many vacancies there are in subject areas so they know which subjects to advertise for, they can use the information about when people leave to spot trends and make Haydon more Appling to staff at these times and I found out why people left schools and Haydon can try to stop these reasons from accruing.
