With labor markets being tight, many people are choosing to stay longer at their current positions. However, HR professionals should not interpret this "nesting" behavior as long-term loyalty or engagement in the organization's objective.

How can you know if an employee is nesting?
We've all seen what an engaged and loyal employee looks like. They are continually challenging themselves while also increasing the standard for their team, seeking for new ways to elevate their work and advance in their roles. They understand how their work impacts their team or the company's overall mission. They understand why their work is important and believe it serves a purpose.
A nester, on the other hand, appears to be content with their current situation. They shun discussions about professional development and job advancement, preferring to continue at their current level. They sink their heels in against change or any interruption to their established habits, clinging to the status.
