The Hiring Index Survey is Underway, “HR in the Car” Ep 21 w/ Reg Harnish, and More!
Here's what's happening this week:
Last Week’s QOTW Poll Results:
Q: Are you considering a job change (quitting) this year?
- Yes - 63%
- No - 23%
- Maybe, if right opportunity. / I'm a passive seeker and would consider the right opportunity - 14%
Look at those numbers. Only 23% said they would NOT consider a job change in 2023 – meaning in the next 7 months. How confident are you that you know who is staying at your organization? This emphasizes the importance of working on Employee Retention as part of your recruiting model. That’s right, you have to “Re-Recruit” your existing staff. We know it sounds odd since you’re already paying them, but facts are facts. People are still considering moves.
