On-Ramps

Hiring for “fit” can be a slippery slope. Too often, it favors familiarity over inclusion and leads to teams that reflect the past, not the future. At On-Ramps, we encourage organizations to pause and ask: • Who’s not here yet? • Whose voice could shift the conversation? • What perspectives would strengthen this team’s impact? The work of inclusive hiring is about checking in, not checking boxes. Organizations benefit when their processes invite reflection, broaden reach, and make space for new perspectives. #Equity #Hiring #Leadership #Inclusivity #Culture #SocialSector #OnRampsInsights

Employees may be staying put—but not necessarily because they’re happy. The latest Employee Retention Index from Eagle Hill shows a modest rise in retention sentiment driven more by a shaky job market than renewed confidence in employers. Gen Z is still the generation most likely to stay, but their engagement is slipping across the board. And market pessimism is rising across nearly every demographic. For employers, this isn’t a moment to get comfortable. It’s a chance to invest in internal experiences before retention risks rise again.
