Several weeks back I shared an article from Knowledge@Wharton about how inclusivity in the workplace, and making sure employees’ personal stories are represented can be the turning point in talent retention. Recently, the pros at Wharton published a follow up article in which they share the keys to avoiding the Great Resignation. Spoiler alert: it’s all in the management.
Their research shows that at every level of management, from supervisors all the way to C-suite executives, fair practices matter. It’s not simply a matter of managing well, either. Managers work tirelessly to create an environment where everyone feels valued, represented, and heard. If management can achieve this, talent will be less inclined to seek other employment options. In fact, as they state in the article: “Companies that earn a reputation for being a place where everyone is seen, heard and valued may not have to worry about the Great Resignation.” Give it a read to see how your company can benefit.
