Here's what's happening this week:
Last Week’s Poll Results:
Q: Do you make counteroffers for employees who resign?
Yes – 37% & No – 63%
Counteroffers can seem like a good idea to employers, but are they? If you have a consistent and open line of communication with employees, you should know what their long-term goals are. If you don’t, you’re not asking the right questions (or listening). Consider the tips in this SHRM piece when considering this practice OR our take on the matter via this blog. Still not sure on what to do? The experts at Alaant are here to help. Call us today.
