Recruitment (see the previous post)
Retention
Resilience
Staff retention is vital in the death services industry. Without good staff retention, there can be a lack of knowledge and skill in providing excellent and consistent service. Our industry often deals with people at difficult and emotionally charged times, so having a solid team of experienced funeral directors, embalmers and other essential service providers can help to ensure that all services are carried out with professionalism and compassion.
Another reason why it is important to keep loyal and experienced staff is because it sets a positive atmosphere in the workplace. Knowing that there are excellent team players already on board helps keep morale up and encourages new employees to strive for excellence. High morale leads to greater productivity, which ultimately results in increased profits and job security.
Furthermore, constantly needing to recruit new staff is costly and time-consuming; having a strong staff retention rate means fewer resources being spent recruiting and training new staff members.
At Independent Funeral Industry Support Services (IFISS), we focus on understanding how to help individuals remain truly engaged throughout their careers in the death industry.

At this seminar, industry professionals will be exploring the role employers have in creating a culture and environment that is inclusive and supportive of team members.
