The 2021 Job Seeker Report is the third installment of a nationwide biennial survey conducted by the Trendicators research division of Engage2Excel Group. Below are some of the questions we asked a representative sample of 1,500 individuals from all major industries and demographic groups in the US:

• What are the most important reasons for which you would accept or reject a job offer?

• What are the most important factors that would lead you to seek employment elsewhere?
  
  
• Would having to report to a manager who is younger than you influence your decision to accept a job offer?

• Would your first-day onboarding experience affect your decision to stay with a company for more than a month?

In Engage2Excel’s last Conversation Series, hosted by our VP of Marketing, Melissa Meunier, and President of Recruitment Solutions, Darren Findley, they discussed the challenges employers face when looking for candidates who will fill positions in their organization. During the 30- minute conversation, Darren explained why there is so much difficulty and how employers can overcome certain challenges.

What is digital fatigue? And how does it impact your business and the people who work there?

Think of how many times you interact with technology each day, whether that interaction was intentional or not. Technology is ingrained in our lives, both personally and professionally. But you don't need me to tell you that. You also don't need me to point out that it brings stressors and pain despite the simplicity and positivity it brings to our lives.

One of those stressors and pains is digital fatigue.

Just as many of us are experiencing pandemic fatigue, digital fatigue is very real. For many, the multiple systems we all interact with during a day's work only exacerbate the situation.

If there are only a few things that managers could do or focus on to improve their perceived effectiveness in the eyes of their employees, what would they be?

Research conducted from our recent eBook "The Employee Experience Gap," uncovered which attributes are most important and predict an employee's rating for a manager's overall efficiency in a performance review. In addition, as organizations and employees continue to work through the health and economic consequences of the pandemic, these attributes have never been more critical.
