    Thank you to everyone who participated in my recent poll on projected employee turnover in 2025! With 72% predicting turnover will be higher, it’s clear that workforce stability is a growing concern for many business leaders. The recent study from Resume Templates, which found that 56% of employees are planning to seek new job opportunities in 2025, aligns with these sentiments. Based on Work Institute research, this potential new wave of turnover highlights several key focus areas for organizations moving forward: 💡 Employee “Engagement” & Retention: To combat high turnover, companies need to prioritize engagement and retention strategies that make employees feel valued and want to stay in their roles. 💡 Career Development Opportunities: Career growth remains a top factor influencing employees’ desire to stay. Investing in meaningful training and development could make a significant difference. 💡 Workplace Flexibility: In a post-pandemic world, flexibility in work arrangements continues to be a strong retention factor. As we head toward 2025, are we ready to adapt and respond to the evolving needs of our workforce? What strategies do you think will be most effective in addressing potential turnover? Share your thoughts in the comments! #EmployeeEngagement #HRInsights #Retention #FutureOfWork #TurnoverTrends

  • Timing alone is the biggest mistake companies make while conducting Exit Interviews. If your organization is collecting exit data during termination, it will be contaminated by: 1️⃣ Emotion that may still be active when someone leaves an organization 2️⃣ Fear of burning bridges or getting bad recommendations 3️⃣ Lack of opportunity to process and think about their employment and their reasons for leaving in more depth 4️⃣ Lack of time to experience their new employer (if they have one) 5️⃣ An urgency on the part of exiting employees to leave because they are possibly embarrassed or angry, resulting in clipped, less rich answers to questions When companies wait two weeks after the employee leaves to conduct the interview, it reduces emotional baggage, allows for a more thoughtful look at the past, and provides exactly what companies need to affect positive change and reduce turnover.
