6 Ways to Improve Retention and Why Directors with HR Skills are Becoming Essential Amid Great Resignation
We’ve all heard about The Great Resignation — the large scale of employees resigning and moving elsewhere.
In 2021, reports show one in four workers left their jobs.
The reasons? A combination of searching for better benefits, flexibility, and higher salaries, especially after the last two years, shifted people’s expectations of their work and personal values.
The most significant byproduct of the great resignation is the tremendous labour shortage — in all fields! From retail to hospitality to tech.
Forcing many companies to either lower their hiring standards, poach from competitors, or throw money to capture any candidate out there.
As CBC reports, a recent survey by Express Employment Professionals of 510 Canadian hiring decision-makers shows one in four employers have hired someone they usually wouldn’t have due to the shortage in the workers poll.
The survey took place between November 10 and December 2 of last year.
To help navigate The Great Resignation, many companies have started hiring board directors with Human Resources skills.
This blog will cover WHY companies are looking for HR skills and six ways to retain talent at your company.
