Are you a small business owner that has struggled to hire skilled workers this past year? According to 2022
QuickBooks Data, 50% of these business owners are having more difficulty with this! Today I want to touch on an article in the
QuickBooks Blog, that talks about the steps small businesses can take to leverage low-cost employee benefits and hire/retain top candidates. Here are the top things that employees are looking for in a job:
1. Flexible work hours
2. Personalized recognition
3. A focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
4. A sense of purpose
5. Community support
6. Career growth opportunities
It may seem difficult to compete with larger companies, but small businesses do have what it takes to be successful if they really focus on offering what employees really want. I found this article to be super insightful in seeing the data behind these findings and I hope you do too. Make sure to check out the full article
