How to turn employee “nesting” into true loyalty and retention

With labor markets still tight, many employees are choosing to stay longer at their jobs. But HR professionals shouldn’t mistake this “nesting” behavior for long-term loyalty or investment in the organization’s mission.
The reality is that employees who stick around purely for stability’s sake aren’t necessarily engaged at work — or delivering the value employers expect. In fact, they may be among the 51% of employees who are currently on the lookout for new roles.
Yet, rather than viewing nesting as a problem, HR teams should view it as an opportunity. Lower-than-normal turnover frees up time for other initiatives — including HR and management strategies that can encourage nesters to either re-engage or finally fly the coop.
