HR Newsletter: Seasonal Employment
Many organizations rely on seasonal workers to supplement their regular workforce during peak times. This often occurs during busy seasons or holidays, as there’s an influx of business activity. While similarities exist, there are important differences between seasonal and regular employment. Due to these differences, hiring and reliance on seasonal workers can present significant and unexpected challenges for employers.
Seasonal employment is temporary employment that occurs during a specific time of the year. Employers often hire seasonal workers when they need extra help. This need may be based on industry demands, financial reasons, or increased consumer traffic, such as during the holiday season. Seasonal employment is more common in certain industries, such as delivery services, ski resorts, and agriculture.
HR Newsletter: Quick Quitting Trend
As employers navigate trends such as “quiet quitting”—a new term within the employment landscape that refers to workers only doing what their job description entails without going above and beyond—new data revealed that many workers have begun “quick quitting.” That is, in certain industries, workers are quitting their jobs at increasingly high rates before the one-year mark. The emergence of this trend demonstrates that workers in the United States are getting more comfortable leaving their jobs.
