Engagement and Retention  

Organizations face significant challenges as they try to succeed in an increasingly competitive economy while fighting the never-ending battle to retain highly skilled and experienced staff. Then there’s the burden that higher turnover places on leaders, who are expected to achieve their goals regardless of staffing issues.

How much of the responsibility for job-hopping and voluntary leave falls on employers’ shoulders? More than you might think!  Most agree that loyalty takes a big hit each time an organization downsizes or reorganizes. But there is another factor that has a huge impact on retention: employee engagement.

People are more productive and less likely to look for that next job if they are engaged—if they enjoy and believe in what they do, and feel valued for doing it. DDI has confirmed through rigorous research that leaders at all levels play a crucial role in determining the level of employee engagement.
