Leveraging what I've learned from conversations over the past several weeks, economic reports, trending topics on social media, and patterns in labor market data, I've developed three predictions and three strategies for employers heading into 2025.

When my team has a busy season, I remind them that this is our time to "make hay." It is a call to seize and make the most of this moment. Also implied in that sentiment is that there will be days when conditions are cloudy, wet, and rainy, and we can't make hay.

Henry Ford once said, "The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave, is NOT training them and having them stay." Our highest-performing clients understand the importance of developing leadership and technical skills for those they plan to promote.

As the economy and the labor market have changed over time, so has Team Builder. We continue to look for new ways to support your business growth. Here are just a few of the ways we can serve you in your team building journey.

Flexibility is crucial to your hiring success when the labor market is this tight. Even if you think you know exactly what you want, you may have to work with what you can get.

Learning to have a healthy relationship with time is a journey. Sometimes, it feels like one step forward and two steps back, but we all get 24 hours in a day, and with intentionality, we can make the most of it.

We work in a world where it's common practice to give customers and employees our cell numbers. We can check our email via a little device in our pocket. For many of us, we're tethered to work 24/7.

2024 is right around the corner, and 2023 has been a fun ride. Team Builder has been blessed to work with talented business leaders across the country as they grow. As we reflect back and look ahead, I wanted to share a few of our key “takeaways” from this year.

If someone is an A player or even a B+, the window of time between sending out their resume to a handful of employers and getting a job offer is precariously small in many cases. Don't let the slightly less-frantic labor market lull you into moving slowly through the hiring process.

Hiring during the holidays is a double-edged sword. However, if you want to hit 2024 at full speed, getting this new teammate lined up will make January a much better month.

Why should someone trade in 20, 40, or even 50 hours of their week for the paycheck you are offering? The best candidates have many options, and money is not the only thing they are looking at.
