Welcome to the Age of the Hyper Hopper: 3 Tips and Tricks for Recruiting Gen Z
Welcome to the age of the “hyper hopper” where employees are changing companies every few years. The days of tenure, pensions, and retiring from the company you started are more fairy-tale than reality.
Gen Z are changing jobs every 2.1 years. That’s a stunning statistic when you think of the amount of time it takes to hire, onboard, and ramp a new employee only to get a year of production out of them before they are setting sail for the next great opportunity. With the Gen Z demographic set to make up...

Severance Agreements: Make them easy to understand and don’t pressure an employee to sign
When one of your former employees signs a severance agreement with a release of all claims, the last thing you want is for that employee to sign and then sue you.
