The Shift: The (Not So) Secret Sauce to Attracting and Retaining Top Talent

You have seen the headlines: The Great Resignation is here. Employers are feeling the strain as nearly nine out of 10 executives report they are seeing higher-than-normal turnover at their organization. And in the legal world, this is creating a huge war for talent.

Unfortunately, all signs indicate this trend will continue: the same study shows 65% of employees are currently looking for a new job. With the workforce in a state of flux, it is imperative that employers take steps to increase retention and attract top talent. So what can you do to keep your team happy? How do you build a culture of wellbeing? For those of us out there talking to legal leaders, the secret sauce is prioritizing DEI in the workplace and allowing workplace flexibility.
