The 10 Must-Read Articles for Recruiters This Week

As employers and employees continue to have their differences over everything from remote work policies to work responsibilities, a new global report from Microsoft suggests a tactic to help ease some of these tensions: “re-recruiting” your employees.

“Amid macroeconomic headwinds,” the report states, “now is the time for every organization to re-recruit, re-onboard, and re-energize employees. And the data shows if people can’t learn and grow, they’ll leave. . . . The best leaders will prioritize learning and development to help both people and the business grow.”

In fact, the report highlights that 76% of employees surveyed would stay at their company longer if their company offered more learning and development opportunities. What’s more, a robust internal mobility program may also help with retention efforts, as over 65% of survey respondents reported they would stay longer at their company if it were easier to change jobs internally.
