Many organizations are experiencing the impact of today’s rapidly changing labor market, as employees seek work that offers the best benefits – even if it means leaving their current position. At some point in their career, one of every two employees has left a job to improve their life.¹ Is your company providing all of the benefits its employees need to stay long-term?

Whether or not they realize it, organizations have an employee value proposition (EVP). Sometimes, the EVP is official; other times, it’s based on perception. Simply put, an employee value proposition is what makes an organization attractive to employees – why they want to be there, rather than take a job someplace else.

In economically uncertain times, your company may be looking for new approaches to leadership development so you can retain and promote valuable talent. Internally promoting leadership can save money in addition to generating gains in many areas of your company from training and development to career advancement.

We believe retention is directly connected to how well employees feel supported and heard. Your Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) strategy is an authentic way to foster these feelings and keep more employees on staff. Enhancing DE&I efforts is not just a trend, but also a necessary way for your business to attract and keep talented people during this time of global uncertainty.

The media is flooded with talk about how much the workplace is changing – with more focus on remote working, automation and e-commerce than ever before – but one aspect of our working world that will remain constant is the need for employees to be satisfied and engaged. That’s why, despite all the disruption of Coronavirus, we’re celebrating International Week of Happiness at Work and thinking about what organizations can be doing right now to give their employees the best possible experience, every day.
