The Employment Life Cycle is the series of steps and procedures an organization follows when managing its workforce, from recruitment and onboarding to retention and exit. It covers every step in the hiring process, including job postings, interviews, training, performance reviews, and employee termination. With a defined and well-followed Employment Life Cycle, your organization can ensure consistent and effective job postings, attract better applicants, onboard employees effectively and quickly, manage their performance meaningfully, and retain talented staff for longer. Put simply – it’s the backbone of successful employer-employee relations.
