What it means: Watch NFIB’s webinar on-demand with Beth Milito, who explores how small businesses can compete with larger competitors to hire and retain qualified workers.

Expert take: “As a pro tip, 35% of employees will look for a new job if they don’t receive a raise, even if it’s a cost-of-living adjustment in the first 12 months. Even if it’s a little bump in pay, it can be very important in retaining those employees. Be a driver of retention, and take an interest in your employees,” said Beth Milito, Vice President and Executive Director of NFIB’s Small Business Legal Center.
