This summer, as the PPMC continues to grow, we, like many employers are concerned about retention. We have, found, or developed the talent, but how do we keep it?
This is the first blog in a series discussing retention strategies in an environment where talent is hard to find and retaining high performer is harder than ever. But, here’s the question, everyone is talking about retaining talent – but what are we actively doing about it?
With a whole generation of Baby Boomers retiring, industries are left to pivot, especially public service. Before the pandemic, almost 1 million Boomers were retiring annually. That number jumped to 3.5 million annually during 2020 and 2021 (Fry, 2021). Hiring a slew of new employees is no longer an option. Having a job available is not enough to create opportunity or interest – competition with the private sector is hard to match (Semuels, 2022).
