    We all know the phrase: spring forward, fall backward (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    As summer comes to an end, I have been wondering, what if we decided to fall forward instead? There are only a few months left in the year which can create the temptation to mentally write off everything that has not happened yet. For instance, the strategic initiative that never quite got started. The compensation issue everyone knows needs attention. The employee development conversation that has been postponed three times. The succession plan that remains somewhere on the list. Suddenly Septe

    When good employees disengage quietly (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In my last column, I looked at the early signals of retention risk, those warning signs that a resignation may be coming. There is a more dangerous version of the problem because it produces no signal loud enough to notice and often no resignation at all, at least not for a long time. It is the quiet disengagement of people who are still, on paper, doing their jobs perfectly well. “He hasn’t done anything wrong. That’s the problem.” Disengagement is easy to picture as someone visibly checked out

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In a recent column, I wrote that recruitment in Bermuda has become a competition to persuade already-employed people to leave jobs they are not desperate to leave. There is a quieter version of that same problem unfolding inside your own organisation right now because the people other employers are trying to attract are your people. Retention has always mattered. In a market with under 2 per cent unemployment, it matters more. Every departure sends you back into one of the hardest hiring environ

    Recruitment upended: rules of hiring are changing (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For many years, Bermuda employers could rely on a reasonably familiar recruitment equation. For many roles, there would be a pool of local candidates. For specialist positions, there was generally strong overseas interest in relocating here. A competitive salary, a recognised employer and the opportunity to live in Bermuda carried considerable weight. That equation has changed. The numbers help explain some of what employers are experiencing. Bermuda’s May 2025 Labour Force Survey reported overa

    Pay transparency is coming: what employers should do now (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Pay transparency in Bermuda has moved well past the idea stage. Jason Hayward, the Minister of Economy and Labour, first announced the Government’s policy proposal at a press conference on April 13, with a six-week consultation window that closed on May 31. Last month I attended the minister’s town hall at St Paul AME Centennial Hall, where the ministry set out its case in detail, with valuable contributions from Stacey-Lee Williams, of Citizens Uprooting Racism in Bermuda, and Lisa Reed, of the
