In 2022, it’s critical to prioritize employee engagement. Losing high performing team members is costly, has a negative impact on morale, and will directly affect business outcomes. Research has repeatedly demonstrated that employee engagement strategies are the key to improved productivity, fewer absence issues, and higher employee retention rates. Designating time and resources to improve employee engagement and overall employee happiness is an investment in a company’s most valuable resource: a highly engaged workforce. Notably, most employee engagement ideas are free or cost very minimally.

In the 2022 job market, every employer is experiencing unprecedented employee turnover. Losing top talent is costly, especially when the labor market is already tight. Poor employee retention impacts the company’s bottom line and leaves those who stayed in the work environment to pick up the slack (and potentially burn out). One of the most compelling reasons for a strong employee retention strategy is that seeing their coworkers leave or quit will encourage employees to do the same. As noted in a recent New York Times article noted, witnessing coworkers leave or quit makes an employee much more likely to do the same. Quitting is the workplace pandemic in 2022, and the only approach human resources departments and employers can use to fight it is robust employee retention strategies. In the second article of this two-part series, MP’s HR and compliance experts share five proven strategies to retain employees and develop a better company culture in the long term.

In the wake of The Great Resignation, every employer is compelled to prioritize employee engagement. Losing high performing team members is expensive, especially when it leads to lower productivity, poor business outcomes, and burnout of the staff that stays. Perhaps the most dangerous consequence of not implementing concerted employee engagement strategies is that it often encourages employees to quit or leave for new roles. A recent New York Times article noted, watching coworkers quit makes another employee feel safer and more ready to quit themselves. Quitting is its own pandemic in 2022, and the only way employers will successfully fight it is to focus on company culture and improving employee engagement.
