How to Attract Talent: Post-Pandemic Amid a Worker Shortage
Print

The surprises of the pandemic keep coming. After months of businesses cutting back hours, furloughing or laying off workers, the economy is in an upswing. But where are the employees?  

Employers are struggling to fill both low-wage, hourly positions and high-quality talent. And it’s not because of a lack of opportunities. As of June, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported over 9 million job openings and 9.3 million unemployed individuals. According to the Harvard Business Review, while it might sound contradictory, the U.S. is experiencing higher unemployment numbers and a labor shortage. 

Compensation increases are no longer enough to incentivize employees – individuals are looking for companies that will allow them to maintain a work/life balance and feel empowered. 

Join us as we explore the trends and strategies of two major areas that employees consider in their job search: Employment Law Compensation and Creative Employee Benefit Solutions.
