In this episode, we examine the common assumptions that many businesses make when they are looking to attract talent. Many of these assumptions come from favoriting a more traditional approach to talent attraction and retention, increasing the risk of being left behind. Our prescription for this episode: Consider the more unconventional candidates, and beware of the value of transferable skills. Stats referenced: Globally, just 35 percent of those who quit in the past two years took a new job in the same industry. In finance and insurance, for instance, 65 percent of workers changed industries or did not return to the workforce.Reasons why people are leaving: 41% Lack of career development and advancement; 36% Inadequate total compensation; 34% uncaring and unispiring leaders; 31% lack of meaningful work; 29% unsastainable work expectations.- McKinsey (2022) The Great Attrition is making hiring harder.
