For an increasing number of Americans, it's taking months to find a new job as labor market slows #jobskills #jobsearch #jobseekers #jobseeker #jobs #jobsite #jobsearching #jobsearchtips

Does this ring true? “More Americans are looking to switch jobs than at any point in the past decade. In a cooling job market, that’s a lot easier said than done. White-collar hiring continues to slow, but workers’ restlessness to find new work is intensifying, new Gallup data show. More than half of 20,000 U.S. workers surveyed in November said they were watching for or actively seeking a new job. That’s the largest share since 2015, eclipsing the so-called Great Resignation of 2021 and 2022, when millions of people quit jobs for better ones.” Link: https://lnkd.in/gW2zbvbQ

The Reckoning for Job Hoppers and Ghosters Post-Pandemic The pandemic saw a surge in job ghosting and frequent job switching, but now, many workers are facing the consequences of these actions. Hiring managers are increasingly cautious, scrutinizing short job histories and prioritizing candidates with stable employment records. This shift is a direct response to the challenges posed by high turnover rates and unreliable candidates during the pandemic12. As the job market stabilizes, job seekers must demonstrate commitment and reliability. Transparency about past job changes and a straightforward narrative about career growth can help rebuild trust with potential employers3. #JobMarket #HiringTrends #CareerAdvice #PostPandemic 1: BBC - Why workers and employers are ghosting each other 2: Census.gov - From Great Resignation to Great Reshuffling 3: CNBC - Ghosting is getting more common in the job market

Unpopular opinion: Employers should NOT be concerned about the Gallup numbers on “Employee engagement is tanking” or that “more than half are actively seeking or considering new job opportunities, surpassing the peak of the Great Resignation in 2021 and 2022” In my recent interviews with leading organizations, they have shifted away from measuring employee engagement to employee wellbeing, which is essential to productivity and performance - and profit for the company. If an organization isn’t getting employee WELLBEING right, they won’t get engagement, productivity, performance and other business metrics that matter. Separately, Intent to stay (or quit) is great to measure but ultimately quit rates will tell you the gap between wanting to quit and actually quitting. If you want to proactive about having a THRIVING team as a leader, I’d recommend the following: 1️⃣ Start conducting “stay interviews”. Understand what exactly keeps your employees here and what would make them start looking. 2️⃣ Focus on employee wellbeing - and focus on programs that produce concrete ROI for employee wellbeing- if you don’t currently measure this, it’s time to start because you can’t improve what you don’t measure. 3️⃣ Communicate your plans for the AI era, even if you don’t have everything figured out. Employees are anxious about what AI will mean for their career, and being transparent about future directions and new skills employees need to have (and invest in that re-skilling) will help ease that anxiety greatly.
