Legal Talent: How to Attract and Keep the Best Staff

October 26, 2021
Ask any successful attorney what makes their firm great, and every single one of them will tell you that it’s their team of highly trained associates, legal assistants, and support staff. Top people make a top firm, and let me tell you…if you’re offering $19.00/hr you won’t be getting top people. Why? Because in today’s labor market any 15-year-old can make that kind of cash with full benefits and a $1.50/hour raise after a year. The best legal talent (in any aspect of the industry) is not going to settle for Chick-fil-A wages, which means you won’t be getting the best legal talent with such an offer.

Employee Empowerment Strategies to Improve Engagement

October 6, 2021
The US Labor Department reported 10.1 million job openings in June—a record number that should give employers chills. Never have unfulfilled jobs so consistently outpaced unemployed workers and the reason is simple: employee engagement (or lack thereof). In a world riddled with successive calamities, workers are living evermore in the present and this means quality of life has come to matter more than paycheck or prestige. If a member of your team is not engaged by their job, you can bet they are eyeing the door. After all, a reported 95% of workers are thinking of quitting which means no employer is immune.

Employee Retention Strategies for Law Firms Today

September 21, 2021
That millennials “don’t want to work” has become a cliché in the HR world, and—like all clichés—it’s tired and inaccurate. It’s not that those born between 1980 and 1995 don’t want jobs, it’s that they don’t want jobs that rob them of living. This key distinction is what is driving “The Great Resignation,” so dominant in today’s news cycle. It’s also what’s driving up the anxiety of traditional employers. If you’re a law firm worried about employee retention, you’re not alone…and yet you also might be missing the point. A volatile job market is only a problem for those unwilling (or unaware) of how to react. Those taking proactive measures, on the other hand, are set to profit and—if their strategy is on point—set to profit big.
