Let’s Talk TA!
Mitigating the Great Resignation and Quiet Quitting
Amid the Great Reshuffle, companies are doing what they can to entice and retain their workers. Pearl is no different. At the start of 1st Quarter, TA identified the Top 5 Areas of Focus for Pearl to remain successful in Talent Acquisition and Retention for 2022:
- Compensation
- Rewards and Benefits
- Learning and Development
- Succession
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Now in 4th Quarter, Pearl has met many milestones along the way and continue to evolve, making positive strides toward being a Great Place to Work and an Employer of Choice with the ongoing support of our dedicated TA, HR & Benefits, L&D, and Employee Engagement Teams. Below is a review of the TA numbers for the month of September as well as a hiring snapshot, month over month, for Pearl.

Talent Acquisition Participates in Happy Hour!
Outreach is a vital part of promoting Pearl’s Social Mission. Our team establishes relationships in the communities we serve and with organizations alike with a primary focus of recruiting to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion. This month, the Workforce Referral Development Team will join Direct Employers during the 2022 Reach Out for Happy Hour Series.
Conducting outreach to organizations serving veterans, individuals with disabilities, women, and minorities is an essential piece of workforce diversity efforts–and we’re eager to join the conversation.
Wednesday, October 12th We will hear from Hesperus: This organization provides pathways to education and employment for members of rural and tribal communities.

SWEET 16 WELLNESS CHALLENGE
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and in honor of this important cause, the Talent Acquisition Team has been participating in a SWEET 16 WELLNESS CHALLENGE during the final 16 weeks of 2022, and we would like to share an important reminder with you.
SWEET 16 WELLNESS CHALLENGE #4 – If you are over the age of 40, regardless of gender, talk to your doctor about potential screenings to know your status.
Not only are we encouraging buddy checks, self-exams, and scheduling annual mammograms for females, we would like to bring awareness to Breast Cancer in men. 1 in 100 breast cancers diagnosed in the U.S. are found in men. Although rare, it is still important for men to routinely check for any noticeable changes. Men with breast cancer usually have lumps that can be felt with self-examination. Lowering your risks includes leading a healthy lifestyle and scheduling general screenings.
