Welsh & Associates

Welsh & Associates At Welsh & Associates, we've designed a professional recruiting service that delivers a difference.

06/02/2026

Current trends show that employees are staying in their current roles longer, which sounds like good news for employers.

But new workforce data tells a more complicated story.

Many employees aren't staying because they're fully engaged; they're staying because the job market feels uncertain, making career moves seem riskier than they did a few years ago.

In our latest newsletter, we explore the decline of employee engagement, how it's affecting hiring efforts, and what organizations can do to attract top talent in a market where fewer candidates are willing to make a move.

Yesterday, Sheri Alexander Welsh took the stage at Crain's Leadership Exchange in Kalamazoo, hosted by Crain's Grand Rapids Business, joining a panel of community leaders including Justin Hatfield of HECO, Bill Manns of Bronson Methodist Hospital, and David Jackson of Landscape Forms to discuss strategic growth in Southwest Michigan. Sheri brought thoughtful insights on workforce development and collaboration opportunities to shape our region's future.

Thank you to Crain's for bringing such a meaningful event to Kalamazoo and inviting Sheri to speak. We were inspired by the conversation and commitment to growth in our community!

Small businesses are built to grow, hire, and invest in their communities.

That is why this message from the Small Business Association of Michigan resonates so strongly. As health care costs continue to rise, many small businesses are being forced to redirect resources that would otherwise support that growth.

This is especially meaningful to us as our CEO, Sheri Welsh, serves as Board Chair of SBAM, working alongside leaders across the state to advocate for sustainable, practical solutions to help Michigan’s “largest employer” – small business.

We stand with SBAM and the small business community in calling for greater transparency, accountability, and long-term affordability in health care so small businesses can continue to grow and thrive.

1.8 million jobs. One powerful reminder of what small businesses make possible.

Last Wednesday, our team had the honor of attending the Michigan Celebrates Small Business Gala at the Breslin Student Events Center, an evening dedicated to recognizing the incredible impact of small businesses across our state.

From innovation to resilience, these organizations represent the very best of Michigan. And collectively, they are more than inspiring. They are essential. Small businesses are Michigan’s largest employer by far.

We’re proud to celebrate and support the people and companies driving our communities forward every day.

Five years ago, we helped place a candidate in a new role.

Today, they’re celebrating their 5-year anniversary — and still thriving.

“I could not be happier… we are doing great things… I continue to grow as a leader.”

At Welsh & Associates, that’s always the goal: not just a successful placement, but long-term success for both the individual and the organization.

Grateful for the opportunity to play a small part in journeys like this.

Every major business function runs on data.

Finance relies on forecasts and modeling.
Sales tracks performance metrics.
Operations monitors efficiency and risk.

But hiring decisions often depend primarily on interviews and instinct.

Interviews matter. Experience matters. But when used alone, they create variability and risk.

If hiring is one of the most consequential business decisions a company makes, why is it not treated with the same analytical discipline?

Our newest whitepaper addresses this gap and outlines a responsible framework for strengthening hiring systems.
