Active Talent on the Move! How to Attract Them Now (Randstad UK Study Inside)
It feels like Christmas already! Why? There's going to be a huge shuffle in the job market, with plenty of talent coming our way.
Yay! But it's also the right time for recruiters to learn some new hiring hacks and employers to learn some new retention techniques.
Well, why waste time? Let's get started! 😀
Recruiters! Be ready to hire the active talent
A new Randstad UK study shows significant job mobility among British workers.
Over a quarter (27%) plan to switch jobs in the next 6 months, driven by work-life balance (41%) and lack of career opportunities (24%) at their current jobs.
When choosing a new role, work-life balance (60%) and attractive salary/benefits (58%) are top priorities.
Businesses must adapt to retain talent by offering flexible work options, competitive pay, and career advancement opportunities.
And you recruiters, need to find these talents right away! You never know, you could be their first option once they are out in the job market 😉
Work From Home Revolution? Science Says Hybrid Might Be the Answer!
Remember the fight for remote work? Hold on! New research says hybrid might be best.
Why the switch-up?
Employers worried remote work hurt productivity. Turns out, no! Hybrid workers were just as productive.
But wait, there's more! Hybrid workers were also happier and less likely to quit.
This is HUGE news! Especially with a recent report from Randstad UK showing record numbers of people looking to switch jobs (Refer to the topic above 😉). A happy, productive workforce is key to keeping good talent.
But is hybrid right for everyone? The study focused on office workers. More research is needed for other industries.
The bottom line? Science says - Listen to your employees.
Hybrid could be a win-win for everyone.
