Average "Time to Hire" Continues Upward Trend


Employers across industries are taking longer to fill open positions, according to new information. Based on data from a half million hires in 2022 and 2023, the average number of days to fill a position across industries and job types is 44 days. This is a 40 percent increase from pre-pandemic averages and is expected to continue increasing.


"Time-to-hire" is defined as the number of calendar days between a job requisition being approved and the candidate accepting the offer. Two major factors cited by the research are low unemployment (candidate's market) and company hiring processes getting in the way of timely offers.

FMLA Forms

Expired June 30, 2023


June 30, 2023 is the expiration date of the DOL’s model Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) notices and certification forms. Businesses practicing FMLA compliance are not required to use the DOL's forms for FMLA administration, and may be using their own documentation. Businesses that are using the DOL provided forms may continue to use them even with the expired date, until the DOL provides a replacement or further advisement on a new expiration date.

Workplace Stress Continues to Impact Workers


According to findings from recruitment agency Robert Walters Group, the majority of workers in a recent survey said they have suffered from workplace-related stress this year, and 62% said they believe employers are not doing enough to combat stress at work.


Workers cited stability concerns, managerial pressure, lack of pay increases, and heavier workloads as the most common factors leading to workplace stress. More than one-third of the 2,500 respondents also indicated that that frequency of workplace stress is "very often".


Employers can take action to mitigate workplace stress by ensuring manageable workloads and providing access to support, including the provision of mental health resources and benefits expanding on work/life balance and workplace flexibility. Read more from HR Dive.
