There is an influx of workers seeking new career paths as the shift in workplace attitudes and mindsets continue to change and evolve. Today’s workforce no longer sees the need to stay put, spending decades doing something they dislike or sticking around out of loyalty. Instead, most people now desire to find positions they enjoy and fit their lifestyle.
Staffing industries are likely to see a need to fill jobs quickly and frequently, assisting businesses during transitions or busy times. As a result, agents should work with their organizations to discuss the significance of staffing business insurance and how to help a workforce that continues to shift. Work with clients to understand the motives for the change and ways to encourage people to find the right spot.
Why Workers Are Seeking a Career Change
A decade ago, businesses likely saw people leave because they sought advancement in salary and position. When these two things were unattainable, they moved on to venues that could deliver, offering the chance to move up the ladder. Employees stayed within the same field, swapping companies.
Today’s workforce still finds both qualities essential, but they seek more. A recent survey by CareerBuilder notes that seven out of 10 employees are interested in changing careers. Instead, many of them noted an interest in seeking flexible schedules, remote options, and improved benefits. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce adds to that, reporting that many workers want an improved office culture emphasizing work-life balance. Likewise, these qualities often send people looking into new fields and industries, ready to make significant changes.
Tips To Help Workers Seeking a New Career
Agents should speak with staffing organizations, offering tips to help their companies and employees find the right fit. After all, frequent turnover creates frustration, whereas stability benefits both parties. Therefore, encourage groups to sit with workers and discuss their interests and skills. Learn their background, and consider having people take career tests. Understanding your base could help you locate appropriate operations to highlight and use their respective talents in fields that workers may not find themselves.
Put location over degree. Then, pair these skills with the workers’ desires. Ask what they want in an establishment. If people seek flexibility and remote options, find locations that fit those demands. Many younger employees focus on office culture and company morals. They want places that concentrate on people, society, and the environment. This knowledge remains critical in finding an appropriate placement and satisfying both employee and employer.
For companies not offering these perks, ask them why not, and encourage making some room for them if possible. Changing office practices to satisfy employees may increase those interested in the organization and keep current workers happy.
When you discuss staffing business insurance, ask your clients about their current employment concerns. Assess the current job market and consider how agencies can help job seekers find their desired position.
