Given the effect the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the job market, one might imagine this task is easier than ever. Unfortunately, that\u2019s far from the truth. While there may be more candidates than usual, attracting quality talent and retaining top performers still remains a struggle, worsened by COVID-19 and its effects on the workplace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Provide Meaningful Benefits<\/strong> &#8211; The pandemic has affected everyone in significant, yet unique, ways. While all employees may be struggling in some way, their situations aren\u2019t the same. Employers can help lift up their workers by offering meaningful employee benefits. Robust health care offerings may seem like an obvious one-size-fits-all solution, but sometimes voluntary benefits are actually what employees need. These include caregiving assistance, financial counseling, increased paid time off and other nontraditional perks. There are many low-cost options available and, better yet, employees can choose their benefits a la carte to meet their individual needs. <strong>New Video:<\/strong> Click the following link to view our recent HR chat on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/2021\/03\/02\/hr-chat-employee-benefit-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Employee Benefit Trends<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/2021\/03\/02\/hr-chat-employee-benefit-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/images\/newsletter\/HR\/Blog\/March2021_HR-Chat.png\" alt=\"HR Chat\" width=\"450\" height=\"302\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Expand Hiring Pools<\/strong> &#8211; The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how quickly teams can adapt, with some workplaces shifting entirely to telework. After months of remote-working success, many workplaces have said they will allow telework permanently even after the pandemic subsides. That\u2019s because of the numerous advantages of remote work. For one, these individuals won\u2019t take up office space, saving room for others who need it. Additionally, this flexibility allows recruiters to expand hiring pools to anywhere with an internet connection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adapt the Workplace Layout<\/strong> &#8211; Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many workers are concerned about their health and well-being while at work. By addressing these concerns, employers can bring peace of mind to employees and, in turn, attract workers who may have held reservations about their safety. Employers can do this by adapting their workplaces to focus on worker health. This includes mandating social distancing, moving desks around, holding virtual meetings exclusively, allowing flex scheduling and offering telecommuting. At the end of the day, workplaces that demonstrate concern for employees will be the ones where individuals actually want to work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Support Well-being<\/strong> &#8211; Employees are going through a lot right now, and many are suffering from poor mental health. This includes feeling depressed, lonely, anxious or any other negative emotion\u2014feelings that may be compounded if employees are working in isolation. Now is the time for employers to show employees and potential recruits that they\u2019re willing to invest in their well-being. Potential options include comprehensive employee assistance programs, one-on-one counseling, therapy sessions and stress-reducing activities. Solutions don\u2019t need to break the bank, either. Something as small as a weekly outdoor activity, virtual chitchat meeting or group excursion could be enough to lift employees out of their funk. <strong>New Podcast<\/strong>: Click the following link to listen to our recent HR podcast on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/2021\/02\/26\/podcast-employee-retention-tips-to-avoid-significant-departures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Employee Retention Tips to Avoid Significant Departures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/2021\/02\/26\/podcast-employee-retention-tips-to-avoid-significant-departures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/images\/blog\/Blog_Podcast_Employee-Retention-Tips.jpg\" alt=\"HR Podcast\" width=\"500\" height=\"262\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Look Internally for Talent<\/strong> &#8211; If an employer is struggling to fill an important role with an outside candidate, it could be that they\u2019re looking in the wrong place. Many organizations are now focusing on upskilling current employees and retraining them for more important positions. Since outside candidates need to be trained anyway, upskilling a current employee wouldn\u2019t be any more burdensome. Current employees are already familiar with the workplace and its operations, it may even be easier. Also, many recruiting teams are expecting big slashes to their budgets in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, shuffling around current employees could help save the bottom line. And lastly, promoting employees from within the organization shows that an employer is willing to invest in their career growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong> &#8211; There are many creative ways employers can attract and retain quality workers. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, even small gestures can go a long way to distinguish an organization from others in its industry. <a href=\"mailto:jeisenhut@employco.com\">Reach out today<\/a> to learn more about these and other workplace strategies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attracting and retaining talent is often a top priority for employers across the country.
