The Significance of LinkedIn for Hiring: Over 70% of LinkedIn users don't visit other job sites, making it a crucial platform for finding potential candidates and avoiding missing out on great hires
LinkedIn is a valuable resource for hiring professionals that you might not find on other job sites. Sandra, the speaker, emphasizes that over 70% of LinkedIn users don't visit other leading job sites, making it a prime location for finding potential candidates. She was a professional that the small business missed out on because they didn't use LinkedIn for hiring. The Sleep Number advertisement then shifts the focus to the importance of quality sleep and the benefits of their smart beds. However, the main takeaway from the business discussion is the significance of LinkedIn for hiring and the potential for missing out on great candidates if you're not using it. The conversation also touches on the trend of companies cutting pension contributions and the potential for further cuts this year, with many companies not having budgeted for the increased employer duties.
Future of pension contributions uncertain: Employers may reduce pension benefits, employees should consider additional contributions for tax relief
The future of employer pension contributions may not improve as economic difficulties persist, leading to a potential "levelling down" of existing contribution structures. Employers, particularly those with economic challenges, may look to spread pension benefits more thinly due to the influx of new enrollees from auto-enrollment. Employees, especially those able to afford it, are encouraged to consider making additional contributions to pension schemes to take advantage of tax relief. The speaker also suggests that Mother's Day is a perfect time to give back by making pension contributions, just as 1-800-Flowers invites us to celebrate our moms with gifts and savings.
