According to a recent survey, only 5% of America’s Workforce intends on staying in their current position next year!
-So depending on what side of the fence you’re on. (Employer or Employee) Is where you might want to think about what to consider next.
For the employer, evaluate which staff members you cannot afford to lose, which ones are irreplaceable, who makes a difference at the company, and the employees that excel in their positions.
A good tool to reference to is the 2011 Compensation Planning Data collected this past Fall by The American Staffing Association (ASA). It will not only help you figure out what some competitive job salaries are to keep your best workers but also attract new talent if some positions should need filled in the future.
For those employees who’ve decided to join the 84% that will look for new opportunities in the future leaving positions behind, remember staffing agencies! – They do the job searching for you!
For whichever side of the fence you may be on in 2012, keep your local staffing firm in mind to help you fill a position in a pinch-or if you’re going to be seeking out other avenues in the future, PLAN FIRST. An agency will help give you career options with companies that are currently hiring instead of sending out resume after resume along with all the others who are currently unemployed.
