Right now, the biggest problem workplaces face is the Great Resignation. What does this mean for companies today? They lose their best talent, lose money, and suffer a decrease in production. Employees are not happy with today’s workplace culture due to its lack of inclusion and belonging, too little respect, and no real investment and action in DEI.
Respect and inclusion are strongly correlated. Not only does our data show that, but we can actually recommend clear, specific actions to bring change for the better. Join our workshop to see how our data measures respect and inclusion the pillars of workplace culture, and what the steps organizations can take to take real DEI action and avoid the threats of the Great Resignation.
