Employee desire for job stability is an underestimated benefit — positive news for employers trying to prevent a talent drain. Although it’s not a guarantee they’ll stick around long-term, it does give employers the opportunity to offer programs, perks and benefits that better align with employee needs, Alison Stevens, Paychex’s director of HR services, noted in a statement.
As “stewards of the workplace,” HR professionals have the knowledge, expertise, tools and support to lead the opportunity to get these needs met, strengthen job stability and improve company value, Johnny C. Taylor, president and CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management, said in an op-ed for HR Dive.
