💼 HR Trends: The Rise of “Quiet Hiring”
You’ve heard of “quiet quitting,” but have you heard about quiet hiring? Instead of bringing in new talent, many companies are upskilling their current employees and redistributing responsibilities to fill gaps. This can be a great way to boost retention, but it requires clear communication and proper recognition to prevent burnout.
💡 Tip: If you’re expanding an employee’s role, ensure their compensation, title, or career path reflects the added responsibilities. Need help structuring these conversations? We can help!
⚖️ Workplace Compliance: Pay Transparency
Several states have implemented pay transparency laws, and more are following suit in 2025. Even if your business isn’t in a regulated state, being proactive about pay equity can help build trust, improve recruitment, and reduce turnover.
🔍 What You Can Do Now:
✔️ Conduct an internal pay audit
✔️ Train managers on salary conversations
✔️ Update job postings with clear salary ranges
Not sure where to start? We can guide you through it.
💙 Cultivating Culture: Retention That Lasts
Valentine’s Day may be behind us, but showing appreciation for your employees should be a year-round effort. A strong, supportive company culture is what truly makes employees stay—and small, consistent actions go a long way.
✨ Quick Wins to Boost Retention:
✔️ Show appreciation with handwritten notes or a public shoutout to recognize employees’ contributions.
✔️ Prioritize connection by scheduling quick 1:1 check-ins to listen and offer support.
✔️ Encourage learning with a casual lunch-and-learn to foster engagement and team collaboration.
Retention isn’t just about perks—it’s about feeling valued. Let’s keep the spirit of appreciation going! Contact us to learn more.
💡 DID YOU KNOW?
66% of employees say they would leave their job if they felt unappreciated. Yet, research shows that 65% of employees haven’t received any form of recognition for good work in the past year. 👉 A simple “thank you” or public acknowledgment can go a long way in boosting morale and retention.
