After the last four years, HR teams may finally be able to catch their breath — but they can’t get too comfortable when it comes to maintaining talent.

Employees’ expectations around the workplace and professionalism have changed. On the tailwind of mass return-to-office mandates, LinkedIn found that 85% of workers are considering switching jobs in 2024. Meanwhile, the pace of hiring has accelerated over the last three months, with private employers adding 192,000 jobs in April, according to ADP. To keep top talent from moving on, retention should still be top of mind for HR teams. 

First things first: Don’t take the current labor market for granted, underlines Caldwell. Even if turnover slows, that doesn’t mean employees are happy — they could just be biding their time.

“Don’t get complacent because this trend could change very quickly,” he says. “We can be more proactive on retention versus reacting when people are suddenly resigning.”
