Turnover & Talent Retention Trends in 2025

Employers continue to face a tight US labor market in 2025, with competition for talent sustaining pressure to refine workforce strategies and compensation. Data on worker turnover, wages, and job vacancies suggest these pressures may be easing.

Still, strategies expanded in recent years—such as workplace flexibility and pay equity—remain key differentiators as worker expectations evolve, with the potential to shape broader labor market trends.

This webcast will explore how employers are navigating these shifts.
Gain insights on:

  • What trends in turnover, compensation, and job vacancies signal for the labor market outlook.
  • How labor market conditions are influencing employer hiring and retention strategies.
  • How employers are reassessing the costs and benefits of turnover in a changing labor market.
  • How the role of attraction and retention initiatives have evolved, such as workplace flexibility and pay equity.
