1 in 3 Employees Would Quit With No Backup Plan

The current #talentcrunch gives a clear advantage to job seekers. In fact, 1 in 3 would consider quitting their current job with no backup plan right now, according to one survey Inc. recently reported on.

If you’re a hiring manager or company leader, this might sound disturbing, but on the other hand, the same survey found that 69% of employees would stay if they thought their organization might change the things that concern them.

Like what?

Here are some of the things.

🙁   Insufficient pay

🙁   Opportunities for professional education

🙁   Mentorship programs

🙁   Better mental health resources and support

If you’re a hiring leader, you’ve doubtless had all these things on your radar, but you may be limited by budget, company culture, and other factors. However, if you really want to hire and retain the best talent, it’s important to look at these quantitative factors that employees care about.

Most of the hiring managers I interface with in my role as a Executive Recruiter take the current talent crunch pretty seriously. It’s never a bad time to take a long hard look at what you have to offer employees.
