Benefits of a Remote Workforce The remote workforce has seen explosive growth since the pandemic, and many employees are excited about the opportunity to continue to work from home. While…
The last few years have seen a sea of change in the business world. Throughout the shift to remote work, soaring inflation, and what has been dubbed ‘The Great Resignation’, businesses and companies were forced to be nimble and creative to maintain growth, and attract and retain a talented workforce. The transition back to the office was an arduous one, and the U.S. saw a resignation rate of 2.4 percent in March of 2022 – the highest recorded during this period in the last 20 years. This rate has held steady throughout the summer, and companies are performing triage to keep people working.
It takes significantly longer to recruit and train new employees than it does for a current employee to turn in their two weeks. With trends like “soft-quitting” (employees quietly finishing up current projects and then simply not returning to work) on the rise, companies are in the position of needing to step up their game to retain current talent.
When considering strategies for reducing turnover, we must examine the “why” of turnover. Why are employees leaving in the first place?
