U.S. Employers Are Waiting Too Long to Address Retention Risks, According to PRO Unlimited's Latest Labor Market ReportPRO Unlimited, an Integrated Workforce Management (IWM) platform provider, today released the results of its Spring 2022 U.S. Labor Market Report. The analysis reveals that while U.S. employers have significantly ramped up hiring efforts to counteract persisting talent shortages, many should rethink how they approach retention. Over 50% of the contingent workers who ended their assignments early last year did so within the first two months of their engagement, up from 44% in 2020. One in three workers quit within the first month. "Recruiting and retention are two sides of the same coin. While finding top talent is imperative, holding onto skilled people is essential for fighting the worker shortage," said Dustin Burgess, GM and SVP, Total Talent Intelligence at PRO Unlimited. "The market is tight and it's only getting harder to source the right candidates. Employers that emphasize retention initiatives, proactively redeploy talent to fill key roles, and create compelling worker experiences will gain a critical edge." With U.S. consumer prices soaring 8.5% in March from a year earlier - the fastest annual pace since 1981 - impacts are being felt across all markets for goods and services.
