Customer Support
Companies have been dealing with high turnover and resignations as employees returned to work following the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, employees are prioritizing their well-being and leaving organizations for work environments that better fit their needs.
When employees move on, it can leave a gap in roles and relationships that affect company culture and attitudes. This can lead to employee disengagement and a new phenomenon called “silent quitting.”
This session will help you understand why these employee behaviors exist, offer expertise on how to change it, and advise on what individuals can do to promote better work environments.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss the “silent quitting” phenomenon and highlight warning signs.
Understand the business impact of disengaged employees.
.
Learn what today’s employees crave and how top organizations meet those needs.
Empower individual changes that promote retention and engagement.
