CNBC WEC Member Town Hall: Retention, Growth, Engagement
We’ll speak with Erica Keswin, workplace expert and author of ‘Bring Your Human to Work and Rituals Roadmap’ on strategies and ideas to make the most of the current world of work, how to engage and retain your workforce and build for the future.
Key Points
- With HR buzzwords like ‘quiet quitting’ ‘the great resignation’ and ‘loud layoffs’ defining a large part of the 2022 workplace experience, attention is now being paid to the ways to best meet the needs of the employees while keeping them engaged and motivated. The answer? Speaker and best-selling author, Erica Keswin, says empathy and experimentation are key.
- Being able to bring all levels of workers together is important. Especially for companies that have a wide range of employees from “desk to desk-less workers,” emphasizing flexibility for all workers is fundamental.
- With some companies making a minimum number of days in the office required, Keswin said you must find ways to make those in-office days’ worth the commute to avoid resentment from rising.
- Having dedicated people to planning events for employees is becoming an increasingly ‘hot’ job title. Employee experience managers provide a break for HR managers who otherwise wouldn’t have time to plan company-wide employee events.
- The key to keeping virtual meeting retention high and employees engaged is all in the way it’s run. Creating a revolving door of meeting hosts, breaking up the monotony of business updates with interactive quizzes and polls and allowing an open chat feature for colleagues to engage with one another are all ways to make virtual meetings more bearable.
- The metrics by which companies measure performance need an overhaul. The outdated idea of physical presence equating to higher performance no longer works in the post-COVID workplace.
- Approaching employee concerns with a sense of vulnerability is a way to ease tensions in the workplace. Senior leaders opening themselves up and allowing conversations with a relatability factor is necessary to alleviate feelings of stress and burnout.
