Attraction & Retention Newsletter - Q1 2023

Each quarter, the Attraction and Retention Newsletter offers statistics about the employment market, suggestions on securing top talent and insight to attract and retain workers.

The first quarter edition explores:

  • how employee quits and job openings are trending, and what employers should prepare for in 2023;
  • how to identify and retain key employees; and
  • how to retain employees amid the “quick quitting” trend.

In 2022, the employment landscape saw record-high employee quit rates and job openings as employers struggled to attract and retain workers. Some of these numbers have eased heading into 2023, but they are still considered high against historical standards, which indicates that the labor market remains competitive for employers. As quick quitting emerges as the latest trend, the importance of retaining new hires is even more apparent.

Attraction and retention challenges remain and employers need to continue exploring strategies to better meet the desires of today’s workforce.

Download your copy of the Attraction and Retention Newsletter today to stay up to date on trends, challenges and tips to stay competitive.
