Mobility teams can learn from companies that are solving the “Great Resignation”

We’ve written extensively about the “Great Resignation,” and for good reason — a “labor/skills shortage” remains the No. 1 issue facing CEOs early in 2022. Tackling the talent challenge is front and center for many HR and mobility teams these days.

However, not every company has felt the effects of the Great Resignation evenly, as the article below notes. An analysis of hiring data shows that some organizations have been better at weathering the storm. These employers were found to share three key things in common:

• They prioritize and recruit underrepresented candidates.
• They extend offers to successful candidates more quickly.
• They are more transparent about compensation.

This list is good to think about in the context of your mobility program. Is your team making diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) a priority this year? Are you making an effort to extend relocation packages promptly and allowing relocating employees to have choice, control and care when it comes to benefit selections?

There is no silver bullet that can solve the current talent challenges. But your organization — and mobility team — can find an advantage if you’re taking the right approach.
