How to boost employee engagement with the right conversations
06/07/2022
Today we are facing the “Big Resignation”. All over the world, companies are struggling to find personnel, and no one can answer why this is happening. Possible reasons are wage stagnation amid the rising cost of living, long-lasting job dissatisfaction, safety concerns around COVID-19, and the desire to work for companies with better remote-working policies and new work-life balance values stemming from the pandemic. Some economists have described the Great Resignation akin as a general strike of the people, but we still cannot pinpoint what is happening. Our guest in this episode believes we may not be having the right conversations with our employees today. If we had better conversations, we could increase engagement and maybe find the key to the “Big Resignation”. We talk about the new best-seller “The Revelation Conversation: Inspire Greater Employee Engagement by Connecting to Purpose” and how it can help bring leaders and organizations back on track.
