Post-Pandemic Pivots: A Holistic Approach to Employee Retention
Post-pandemic organizations are struggling to retain employees and fear the long-term impacts of the “Great Resignation.” The workforce is more generationally diverse than it has ever been, and Millennials and Generation Z are quickly rising through the ranks. As we embark on the future of work being today and a new way of working emerges, organizations are discovering the need to foster a more holistic approach to managing and retaining employees. Employees now have a broader definition of wellness, more engagement with organizational social responsibility, have less separation between personal and professional lives, and are clear about what types of benefits appeal to them. In this session, we will discuss the 5 areas that Leaders and Human Resource professionals should focus on in order to retain talented and loyal team members.
