How to Keep Your People: A Field Guide on What Matters for Retention in a COVID-Changed World
Employee resignations are at an all-time high, with over 4 million Americans quitting their jobs in July, 2021 alone. The costs of your people heading for the door are hard to calculate exactly, but they are unquestionably high: Not only do replacements need to be recruited and trained, but teams that lose their teammates often find themselves with holes in skillsets and capabilities that drive down productivity, engagement, and quality of life for everyone. This session reviews evidence as to what experiences and priorities are critical to retention, from the perspective of the employees themselves. We’ll talk through specific areas that are essential for your focus – and the focus of all leaders and managers - alongside practical ways you can take action and keep your ear to the ground to address needs that arise. We’ll also cover considerations of the “new normal”: Retention and employee engagement in remote and hybrid work arrangements. As we’ll see, it turns out that if you focus on the right things – you’ll build resilient retention everywhere. Take-aways from this motivationWorks webcast include:
- Learn about the three employee experiences that are backed by leading research as the most important for retention
- How to support and facilitate these experiences for employees every day
