Hire Well - Retain Better: Session 2 - Why Culture Fit Matters More Than You Think

Discover why hiring for culture fit matters, how to spot it at interview stage, and how a strong company culture can help you retain good people and build a more effective team.

What to expect from this event

A good job interview isn’t just about ticking off skills and experience — it’s about finding someone who will fit with your business. Hiring the wrong person can be costly, not just financially but in terms of lost time, disruption to your team, and the need to repeat the recruitment process.

In this session, we’ll look at how to use your interview process to help you identify candidates who aren’t just qualified, but also a good fit for your business. We’ll discuss how to make interviews work for your business, how to stay compliant, and how clearer interview planning can save time and money in the long run.

Cami-Rose Alexander will join us to explore the importance of company culture — what it really means, why it matters, and how it plays a crucial role in both attracting new staff and keeping your best people. She’ll share practical ways businesses can define and improve their workplace culture to help create a stronger, more motivated team.

Attendees will learn:

  • How to structure interviews to assess both skills and cultural fit
  • The financial and operational costs of hiring mistakes
  • Why company culture is central to attracting and retaining the right people
  • Simple steps to build and maintain a positive workplace culture

Ideal for any employer looking to strengthen their team and avoid common recruitment pitfalls.
