Our Advice

Critical Insight

  • Organizations who have maintained engagement progress throughout 2021 see that employees are recognizing the efforts put in to increase engagement. Now is the time to build on the progress and keep engagement high.
  • Organizations must intentionally create opportunities for cross-departmental collaboration and increase visibility of each department’s contributions. This is especially important for remote/hybrid workers who may have less exposure to other departments day to day.
  • Organizations need to get creative about how they support employees and revisit their efforts to promote all aspects of wellbeing. Mental wellbeing must be a particular focus as longer work hours may add to workload pressures and lead to employee burnout.
