Kiplinger’s Best Ideas for Hiring & Retaining Workers in 2022
Today there are over 10 million jobs open in the U.S.
Amid a historic labor shortage that stands to linger, many businesses need to rethink how to hire. Even companies unaffected today can’t stand pat, since many workers are mulling a job or career switch.
Here’s a roundup of ideas and advice on hiring and retaining workers in this challenging environment.
Keep in mind just how tough times have gotten.
Companies can’t even land recruiters, who are in short supply because of surging demand.
The problem cuts across all sorts of jobs, from accountants to cybersecurity specialists, though it’s worse for many front-line, low-wage gigs.
To start, revisit pay and major benefits and try to make sure they meet or exceed those of other local businesses. Consider tuition assistance and help with child care. If possible, be more flexible with remote work.
