Employment trends expert weighs in on new findings and what employers can do to reduce the ever-rising employee attrition rate
Last April, a report from Gartner HR predicted that the annual turnover of U.S. employees would increase by a full 20% this year. Now, a new survey from professional development company Kantata shows that 4 out of 10 full-time American employees are seeking to go freelance.
“The Kantata survey shows that flexibility and freedom are the new must-haves for employees,” says Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA, an employment solutions firm with locations across the country. “The pandemic is partially behind this new drive for more autonomy. Results showed that 60% of American workers say that working remotely became more attractive to them recently.”

Employment trends expert explains why business growth needs to first begin in the HR department
Scaling your business is something that should be on every employer’s mind right now. Increasing your revenue while keeping team expenses stable is one of the most important tools for longtime profit.
