Employee Retention & Attraction

Delving into employees’ openness to new job opportunities reveals their intent to leave (or stay at) their current organization. As leaders seek to retain and attract talent, understanding more about employee perceptions of the job climate and why they choose to leave or join an organization is critical. Employers can evaluate how these details relate to their own culture to create strategies for curtailing turnover, attracting top talent and keeping their star employees from being wooed away.

Six years after COVID : Where are we now?

Six years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the workplace has largely settled into a new reality. While the early months were defined by rapid change and uncertainty, many of the adjustments organizations made have now evolved into long-term shifts in how companies operate and lead.

From hiring practices to leadership expectations, COVID accelerated trends that were already emerging and forced organizations to reevaluate how work gets done. What’s become clear is that the pandemic didn’t permanently disrupt work, it reshaped it.

Understanding where we are now helps leaders make more informed decisions about the future of their organizations and their teams.
