Counteroffers are becoming common, but they often fail to address underlying job dissatisfaction. Employers must offer more than just higher salaries, including flexible schedules, job sharing and in-house management pools. Creating a workplace culture that values employee engagement through skill development, diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) and workplace flexibility is crucial.Business owners are advised to adapt by offering flexible work arrangements, improving workplace culture and focusing on employee engagement. They should also prepare for economic changes and develop future leaders from within to address skill gaps. Partnering with recruitment firms can help identify qualified talent.
