Are You Prepared To Lose 40% of Your Employees?

Fascinating research from brainfooder Jan Tegze, who analysed the number of employees at top companies who have indicated they are ‘open for work’ on their Linkedin profiles. Headline figure suggests that 40% attrition can be expected - double the norm. Evidence of the ‘turnover tsunami’? Another interpretation is that these are deferred resignations - effectively 2 years worth of discontent jammed into 1 year. Whichever the case, retention / succession planning have never been more important - needs to be as high a priority now, as much as talent attraction.
