You’re ready to sound the alarm bells with your leadership team to figure out why a whopping 20% of your workforce is just punching the clock and biding their time until they can move on. Our data shows that, worldwide, companies see an average engagement rate of just 70%. When you have that as your baseline, it’s easier to see that you’re actually outperforming others – and maybe it isn’t time to call a fire drill quite yet.  That anecdote is proof that at its most ..read more

If you feel confused answering questions like, “why are employees leaving,” you’re not alone.

That paired with feelings of isolation and uncertainty has led to increased anxiety, stress, and depression among employees.  More than a year into the pandemic, it’s clear certain aspects of our new normal will stick around long after we return to the office.
