ForumsManaging Employees and HR

Employees tend to hunker down during economic downturns and hold on to jobs – even if they are unhappy. And don’t kid yourself. Many of them are. After freezes, reductions, cutbacks and the like, job satisfaction is nothing to brag about. If this sounds familiar, and you’re working a skeleton crew, you must think about retention.
