So, you don’t want poor team cohesion to complicate the transition even more.

If handled poorly, these transitions can lead to conflict and slowed productivity.

If employers could tell the future, they’d see a massive wave of resignations hitting in 2025.

A new Glassdoor report confirms what many have already suspected: employees are frustrated, disengaged and ready to leave. Nearly two-thirds of workers feel “stuck” in their current roles, with limited opportunities for growth or advancement. As dissatisfaction rises, businesses must ask themselves: are they prepared to retain their best talent before it’s too late?

The global workforce is undergoing a profound transformation, and with it, the employee experience is shifting dramatically.

In recent years, the way employees engage with their work and workplaces has become increasingly personalized, driven by evolving expectations, rapid advancements in technology, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), new work modes, and a growing emphasis on rebalancing work — life integration.

These changes have led to many employees seeking roles and ways of working that more closely align to their personal needs and values, while also demanding more from their employer to deliver a more positive and differentiated employee experience.

By reflecting forward and planning ahead, your company may be more nimble and perhaps more likely to persevere through hardships.

In recent years, discussing compensation has shifted from taboo to commonplace, with individuals openly sharing salary or hourly rate information among friends and colleagues. This shift reflects a growing desire for fairness in compensation, as individuals want to know if they are being paid equitably for the work they perform. The persistence of pay gaps across different demographics — such as gender, race and ethnicity — has raised concerns about fairness in compensation. For example, women in the US earn, on average, only 84% of what men earn for full-time, year-round work.

Part of an effective recruitment process is finding the best place to advertise your job ads.

Over the years, Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor have been the biggest job boards out there that help connect recruiting organizations to jobseekers.

LinkedIn has reportedly laid off around 200 employees, representing about 1 per cent of its global workforce, over the past two weeks. The majority of the affected positions are within the engineering and customer support departments, according to a report by The Information.

This move is part of broader workforce adjustments at the professional networking firm. In 2023, the company conducted several rounds of layoffs and began phasing out its China-focused job app, citing shifting market conditions. Additionally, LinkedIn’s parent company, Microsoft, has also implemented multiple layoffs in 2024, cutting more than 1,000 jobs across various divisions.

Self-reported employee turnover risk has been at its highest since 2015. Gallup’s survey shows over half of employees intend to look for a new job or are actively doing so. Eagle Hill Consulting's latest report confirms this data, suggesting that employee turnover may rise early next year.

That’s unfortunate for organizations struggling to find top talent, as employee turnover is a costly problem. Conservative estimates indicate that the cost of replacing an employee can range from one-half to two times their annual salary.

Check out the article in the comments for 5 ways companies can reduce employee turnover and retain top talent.
