Hiring Resources

Millions of American workers are feeling restless with their current jobs as they scramble to find new work opportunities. Here’s a glimpse into the minds of employees when it comes to increasing your success in hiring.

The impact of the pandemic has undoubtedly caused setbacks and challenges for everyone of all ages. Especially for young adults, the covid pandemic has caused a disruption with the landscape of their young adulthood.

During this trend, people are overwhelmingly shifting careers, either from being laid off or choosing to explore a new job. According to Microsoft, more than 40% of the global workforce is considering leaving their current jobs this year. The main motivation includes pandemic-induced burnout and the erosion of work-life balance. Higher salaries, a different role or field, and higher fulfillment of personal life ambitions are primary goals for job changes.

During the pandemic, employees were able to get a taste of working from home with having the flexibility to work from anywhere. Overtime and with the development of remote work, employees are slowly shifting towards a new way of working as they look for a new location to get their work done; and that is through third workplaces.

Today’s Covid environment has made top talent reassess their job needs and goals. With so many requirements and environmental changes taking place over the past year, many have adapted to working from home and have new expectations for how work looks in 2021 and beyond.

As one of the biggest topics in today’s business environment, hiring for diversity claims an impressive role in a workplace’s performance. Not just for political correctness, focusing on diversity hiring gives team members, managers, and customer an elevated ROI. As you are looking forward to your hiring this 2021, these statistics show the benefit of adding new skills and experiences to your organization.
