Preparing for Employee's Return-to-Work

Feedback is the number two reason why hourly workers are quitting their jobs in 2022. But what’s number one? Join WorkStep to understand the top reasons why hourly paid workers are continuing to leave their jobs in 2022. Latest research shows that 77 percent of hourly supply chain workers are considering a job change in the next three months. Imagine the impact that would have on your business. That’s why engaging your employees at scale and giving them a voice to provide feedback has never been so important. But it doesn’t stop there. Successful engagement and retention strategies focus on not just collecting feedback, but analyzing it and taking action to drive positive change and ultimately reduce workforce turnover. 89 percent of workers are more likely to stay if they feel that their company encourages and listens to feedback, while 69 percent want the opportunity to provide feedback to their employer at least once a month.

There has never been a more strategic time for HR leaders. Employers worldwide are elevating people-related issues to the top and placing a priority on solving the most pressing challenges faced by HR leaders today. These challenges encompass the entire employee experience―from attracting and retaining talent to employee engagement and holistic wellness to diversity, equity and inclusion―and have a sizable impact on the business.

Holistic well-being is a hot commodity in the professional world. Employees everywhere are reevaluating what is truly important when applying for their next job ⸺ especially after 2020, when a staggering 43 percent of employees worldwide reported an increase in stress. Workers around the world now want to work for companies that align with their personal beliefs and values, and prioritization of well-being in the workplace is high on the wish list for many top-tier candidates. Innovative benefit offerings in the areas of health and wellness have a place in every workspace. There’s no better time to discuss this in depth than around the holiday season. In this program, Amanda Morang-Piccirillo SHRM-CP, Total Rewards Program Specialist for G-P, shares her expertise on workplace well-being, and how your company´s well-being program ⸺ or its lack of one ⸺ could impact your retention of key employees.

If you want to attract the right fit talent for your team, you have to lead with your values and show potential candidates who you are and what you stand for as an organization. Does your company have a Diversity and Inclusion Group that meets regularly? What about other Employee Resource Groups, or inclusive company policies? Today’s top talent want first hand insight into those aspects of your culture and core values when deciding if a company is a good fit for them, so they can actually envision themselves working there every day—and being successful.
