Retaining employees can be challenging in the year to come. Here are some trends that will support employee satisfaction in 2023:
The overall well-being of the employees
Employee expectations have changed since the pandemic. Companies need to keep an employee-first approach, be flexible with working hours and have a holistic approach to their employees’ mental, physical and emotional health. Employees also need managers who are empathetic and understanding toward them.
Remote and hybrid working strategies
Since 2020, many offices have been functioning in hybrid and remote mode, which has seen its benefits and challenges. The hybrid working experience will be one of the most important trends of the coming year. Employees don’t want to give up flexibility, work-life balance, and money saved by working remotely. Thus, employers face challenges like maintaining trust, collaboration, and employee visibility across the organisation.
Upskilling of employees
The satisfaction of many employees is driven by the growth they feel they have achieved in an organisation. Companies can focus on upskilling by encouraging their employees to join courses and seminars, offering them mentorship and training, implementing talent rotation strategies, sending them to conferences, and through other means, adding skills that will benefit them as well as the organisation.
Talent acquisition strategy
To promote and develop talent acquisition, HR specialists should review the entire employee life cycle to understand them better and prevent losing them. After mass resignations in the previous year, recruitment has become more complex than ever. It is essential to highlight a company’s ethics, show diversity in work culture, and hire and showcase reviews from current employees that would help attract suitable candidates.
