Employers get a few more gray hairs every time they hear the term “The Great Resignation.” <\/span>Why not recognize the opportunity it offers to set yourself apart from the competition?<\/span><\/p>\n

Raises and bonuses are often the first tactics used to stem the tide of employee attrition. More money is always welcome \u2013 wages have lagged behind cost-of-living numbers for decades. <\/span>But it’s not enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

Compensation increases are transactional and do little to promote loyalty. If you convince an employee to remain by offering a dollar more an hour, why would they stay if the company down the street offers two? It’s essential to understand <\/span>why <\/span><\/i>employees leave to respond effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Are Employees Resigning in 2022?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Most people aren\u2019t leaving because something new has arisen. They are resigning because they finally have options after years of job dissatisfaction. Employees who leave commonly report they don\u2019t feel valued by their employer or don\u2019t have a good relationship with their manager. Other reasons such as health concerns or family obligations have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly among workers who feel their employer handled the pandemic badly.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Can Companies Turn the Great Resignation Around?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Answer the Question: What\u2019s Next?<\/b><\/p>\n

Some workers became so frustrated with their employer that they quit without a backup plan. This is the perfect opportunity for recruiting agencies to step in. Individuals who have never worked with a recruitment company may have only a vague sense of what they have to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n

A recruitment partner gives the recently resigned a bit of breathing room before deciding on their next career move. Temporary jobs keep a steady income coming in and prevent employment gaps. They can take their time finding the ideal opportunity and may even find their next job while on assignment through the agency. Best of all, they are not charged for the service.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working with a recruiting agency allows them to try many different jobs to get a sense of company culture or leverage transferable skills in various roles. It\u2019s a great way to make a lateral move into another industry by proving themselves on the job.<\/span><\/p>\n

Improve the Employee Experience<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you consider people your greatest asset, you need to prove it every day. These improvements to the employee experience can help keep your best people and attract new candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n
