Trends in The Attrition of Talent

The Great Resignation is still going strong in 2023, with more and more employees leaving their jobs in search of better opportunities. This trend is being driven by a number of factors, including the pandemic, economic uncertainty, and a desire for more flexibility and work-life balance.

In order to combat talent attrition, businesses need to be proactive in addressing the needs of their employees. This means offering competitive salaries and benefits (including making adjustments due to inflation), providing opportunities for growth and development, and creating a positive work environment. Businesses also need to be prepared to adapt to the changing needs of their employees, as the workforce continues to evolve.

Here are some of the key talent attrition trends to watch in 2023:

  • The Great Resignation will continue. This is certainly not a one-time event. It is a long-term trend that is likely to continue for several years to come. Businesses need to be prepared for this by having a strong talent acquisition strategy in place.
  • The war for talent will intensify. The war for talent is already fierce, and it is only going to get more intense in 2023 and beyond. Businesses should be ready to compete for the best employees across multiple facets of their operation (i.e. Diversity & Inclusion, Pay Equity, Inflation-Adjusted Salaries, etc.)
  • The importance of employee experience will grow. Employee experience is becoming increasingly important as businesses strive to attract and retain top talent. Companies need to focus on creating a positive and engaging employee experience that meets the needs of their diverse, multi-generational workforce.
  • The need for flexibility will continue to grow. Flexibility is one of the key drivers of the Great Resignation. Employees want the flexibility to work from home, have a flexible schedule, and take time off when they need it. Organizations should be prepared to offer flexible work arrangements in order to attract and retain top talent.
  • The demand for diversity and inclusion will continue to increase. Diversity and inclusion are important for both business and social reasons. Businesses need to create a diverse and inclusive workplace in order to attract and retain top talent, and to be successful in the global marketplace.
  • The need for upskilling and reskilling will continue to grow. The world of work is changing rapidly, and employees need to be able to adapt to these changes. Businesses need to provide opportunities for their employees to upskill and reskill in order to keep them up-to-date with the latest skills and technologies.

These are just some of the key talent attrition trends to watch in 2023. Businesses need to be prepared for these trends by having a strong talent acquisition strategy in place, and by focusing on creating a positive and engaging employee experience.
