Most organizations like to use the term #EmployeeEngagement to describe THEIR expectations of employees.

We believe organizations share the responsibility of engagement. If the company does not value the perceptions of the employee, why would the employee choose to engage?

[Work Institute @workinstitute]

We recently published a three part series on the importance of Employee Engagement in the workplace. Part I is a high level overview of #employeeengagement: https://t.co/8XDB81uV1i

Understanding employee sentiment is only the first step to creating an engaged workforce.

Organizations must use that sentiment to make the changes that create the conditions where employees engage.

[Work Institute @workinstitute]

Engagement isn’t a score. It’s a condition you create.
Tomorrow, we'll unveil a new way to measure what matters most.

Organizations that act on employee feedback insights & prioritize employee needs not only stop the downward satisfaction trend but also create workplaces where employees want to stay & grow.

A recent study from Agenda and Charter shared the most urgent issues facing Board of Directors today. Four of the top six issues on their minds are about retaining, engaging, or developing employees.

The goal of an exit interview is to understand why an employee left the organization. Anything else is just noise.

Employees want a safe place to provide key details of their employment experience and why they stay or might consider leaving.

Let us help your organization give employees a chance to tell you what is important with our Stay Interviews:

Just like any relationship, the employee-employer relationship is complicated. Treat employees good and they'll produce for you. Treat them poorly and they'll leave. Employers that get it are the ones that will ultimately succeed.

When I wrote this, I was convinced employers would fail to tackle the workplace issues caused by the pandemic.

I was wrong, and employers really stepped up.. for a short period.

[Work Institute @workinstitute]

In summer 2020, @dannynelms said

"How employers treat employees during this time will have significant impact on employee retention for months and years to come."

People remember how you made them feel, and companies will bear the consequences: https://t.co/umrFE1ud2W

[Danny Nelms @dannynelms]

Employees remember how they were treated and appreciate how employers treated them during the pandemic. Our data proves this.

But then employers quickly wanted to get back to normal. Employees rejected it because they saw remote work was possible, creating The Great Resignation

[Danny Nelms @dannynelms]

If first year turnover was reduced by just 15% employers would likely save tens of thousand if not millions in cost of turnover.

[Work Institute @workinstitute]

First-year employee turnover is extremely expensive. New employees who leave have not generated any return on the investment from their recruiting, hiring, onboarding and training. https://t.co/Mu1kXRT3en

The goal of an Exit Interview is to learn why a former employee decided to work elsewhere so the organization can improve #employeeretention. All other topics do not help the organization become a better employer. #employeeturnover

The employee feedback we've collected shows it is more about what leaders/managers do NOT do as opposed to what they DO. Below are the four main managerial behaviors that drive employees to quit.

It's time to rethink how we develop our leaders. What do you think?

Stay Interviews and Exit Interviews are not equal or opposite of one another. They both generate valuable insights mutually exclusive from the other. Learn those differences here:

[Danny Nelms @dannynelms]

Organizations continue to conduct exit interviews on or before the last day of employment. Timing matters for exit interviews.

[Work Institute @workinstitute]

The Essential Guide to Conducting Exit Interviews covers what questions to ask, when to conduct, who should conduct, how to interpret the data, and how to take action to lower employee turnover
