As we work with customers, partners, and stakeholders, we continually discover insights that highlight the importance of unifying the employee experience and implementing a culture of engagement, recognition and workplace pride.
How do you keep your employees happy and satisfied amid the Great Resignation? More than 40% of the global workforce considered quitting their jobs in 2021. People are tired and want more work-life balance. But mostly, workers who did resign said they did not feel valued by their employer or manager, or they did not feel a sense of belonging.
Shaping a workplace culture is not easy. Leaders are faced with all kinds of emotional factors inside and outside of their control that impact an employee’s sense of pride, engagement, and performance. Join WorkProud CEO Michael Levy and #1 New York Times bestselling author of seven books, Daniel Pink to discover how understanding regrets instructs a pathway to opportunities in the workplace.
When employees do not feel valued, they get demotivated, dissatisfied, and disengaged. And this affects their productivity, which in turn impacts the organization’s bottom line. There is also a huge chance they will resign: two-thirds say they will likely leave their job if they do not feel appreciated.
Organizational leaders who are looking to support employees care about employee engagement. Unmotivated staff impacts the quality of the products or services offered. This is especially true for organizations in the context of the past few years. The coronavirus pandemic affected many organizations. Many started offering remote or other flexible work arrangements for employees.
HR is no longer purely process-driven, where responsibilities primarily include managing annual benefits enrollment and payroll. Today’s HR leaders are tasked with spearheading workforce strategy and curating the human experience in the workplace. How can businesses utilize the true value of HR, so that HR is the strategic driver in your organization? With the use of technology and working across departmental divides, HR is now able to architect every aspect of its solutions, programs, and processes to enhance the employee experience, which boosts engagement, productivity, retention and the customer experience.
Rewards are crucial in motivating and retaining employees. Many employers see monetary rewards such as salary raises, cash bonuses, stock options, and profit-sharing as the best incentives. While it is assumed that employees want cash rewards, they often show greater enthusiasm toward non-monetary incentives. That is why having the right reward strategy is essential for employee engagement and retention.
The traits separated by dashes in the previous sentence and written in 2008 — business acumen, prestige, and influence — remain elusive goals for HR leaders in companies of all shapes and sizes. Why? We at WorkProud believe the four strategies that Gallup laid out in 2017 remain a good starting place for answering that question.
Every month, we share news, knowledge, and insight into what we believe is a pretty simple proposition: If you are “proud of your work and proud of your company,” you are more engaged, more productive, and more likely to stay with your company for the long haul.
