Travel: This Labor Day weekend promises to be a busy travel period, and experts are advising travelers to prepare for crowds and plan ahead to ensure smooth journeys. Here's how to navigate the chaos and make the most of your trip:
Air Travel Tips: The TSA is gearing up for a bustling Labor Day, capping off a record-breaking summer of 239.8 million screenings since Memorial Day. They predict 17 million travelers between August 29 and September 4, with Friday expected to be the busiest day, screening 2.86 million passengers.
Despite ramping up staffing, the TSA still recommends arriving two hours before domestic flights and three hours for international flights to avoid delays at security. Also, a heads-up: starting May 7, 2025, you'll need a REAL ID to fly within the U.S., so now is a good time to start that process if you haven't yet.
Road Trip Advice: Planning a road trip? Timing is everything. Saturday travelers should probably get their travel on in the afternoon to miss the worst traffic between 8 and 11 a.m., while Sunday drivers should set off before noon to avoid the busiest stretch which is from 2 to 8 p.m.
It's best to hit the road before 10 a.m. on Monday to beat the crowds. Always check real-time traffic updates to fine-tune your departure time.
Car Care Essentials: Don't let car troubles spoil your holiday! AAA expects to assist 300,000 drivers nationwide over the Labor Day weekend. To avoid becoming part of that statistic, get a full vehicle inspection before heading out. This will ensure key components like your battery and brakes are in good working order, helping you avoid spending your holiday on the roadside.
By following these tips and keeping an eye on real-time updates, you can navigate the hustle and bustle of Labor Day travel with ease and confidence. Safe travels!
Careers: U.S. businesses are losing a staggering $1 trillion every year due to voluntary employee turnover, and most of it is preventable. High turnover rates are incredibly costly, with the expense of replacing an employee ranging from 50% to 200% of their annual salary. For instance, a company with 100 employees, each earning $50,000, could face turnover costs of $660,000 to $2.6 million annually.
The impact of turnover goes beyond just financial losses. When top talent leaves, organizations lose their most reliable, innovative, and effective problem solvers. This turnover erodes team morale, disrupts customer relationships, and can damage the company's reputation.
Here’s the surprising part: over half of exiting employees say their departure could have been prevented. Yet, in the months leading up to their exit, many employees report no conversations with managers about their job satisfaction or future. This communication gap leaves employees feeling undervalued and without a future at the company.
To fix this costly problem, companies need to invest in training managers to engage in regular, meaningful conversations with employees about their needs, frustrations, and career aspirations. By doing so, businesses can retain their stars and secure a brighter future.
