    For the first time in history, the average office often has multiple generations working together as a team. Due to advances in medicine, multigenerational workforces in the US often include a record-setting five generations. There are many benefits of multigenerational diversity in the workplace, but also significant challenges. Workplaces with younger generations and older generations are seeing more challenges due to differing communication styles, working styles, work hours, and prioritization of work-life balance.

    To reduce risk and exposure and improve employee retention, it’s critical to cultivate a strong management style. Firstly, a good boss is key to employee satisfaction and retention. A Gallup poll found that 75% of people who left their jobs were motivated to run because they didn’t want to work for their supervisor anymore. In 2022, this is an especially critical point. This year, many employers are losing staff or facing challenges finding new talent to support their team. So, it’s vital that organizations do everything they can to show candidates their best employer brand. A second reason companies need strong management is that an employee in a leadership position often has the power to make mistakes in their work that result in significant consequences. A common error by management could create consequences such as risking compliance or increasing legal risk and exposure. MP’s HR compliance experts share the top common mistakes managers make—and tips to fix them. Read the article to:

    In the 2022 job market, every employer is experiencing unprecedented employee turnover. Losing top talent is costly, especially when the labor market is already tight. Poor employee retention impacts the company’s bottom line and leaves those who stayed in the work environment to pick up the slack (and potentially burn out). One of the most compelling reasons for a strong employee retention strategy is that seeing their coworkers leave or quit will encourage employees to do the same. As noted in a recent New York Times article noted, witnessing coworkers leave or quit makes an employee much more likely to do the same. Quitting is the workplace pandemic in 2022, and the only approach human resources departments and employers can use to fight it is robust employee retention strategies. In the second article of this two-part series, MP’s HR and compliance experts share five proven strategies to retain employees and develop a better company culture in the long term.
