Here's what's happening this week:
Last Week’s QOTW Poll Results:
Q: Does your New Year’s resolution include a job change in 2024?
- Yes - 61%
- No - 39%
This poll reveals that a majority of respondents are contemplating a career change as part of their 2024 New Year's resolutions. This presents both challenges and opportunities! On the positive side, for those in hiring positions, this is an opportune moment to leverage people's current motivation to seek new career paths. By positioning your company as an attractive workplace, you can capitalize on this trend. However, this scenario poses a challenge for employers at risk of losing talent. To mitigate this, it's crucial to enhance your existing programs, with a particular emphasis on cultivating a strong company culture and implementing effective rewards and recognition systems. If you're seeking assistance in navigating these changes, let's start a conversation!
