The changing nature of retention in an increasingly digital workplace.
"The changing nature of retention in an increasingly digital workplace
The world of work is changing, as are the rules for talent retention. Today, remote work is a fixture of the modern workplace, while purpose, connection and growth are as much a part of the deal as a reliable pay check. It’s a far cry from the 5-days-a-week, 9-5 model, and the benefits by this point are well understood. That said, many employees still have a fraught relationship with work. They’re frustrated, spending 1.8 hours a day searching for information (McKinsey). They’re overwhelmed, with 46% feeling it as a result of technology (PwC). They’re burned out, with 85% saying their wellbeing has declined, and 56% saying their job demands have increased (Harvard Business Review).
For those of us in HR, this presents a big challenge and an opportunity. Because retaining top talent requires more than a competitive salary or flashy benefits. It always has. The right approach can foster a real sense of belonging, deliver against your company values, and build a workplace that supports growth, flexibility, and connection. In this report, we explore how digital tools – in particular, intranets and other employee engagement platforms – can play a transformative role in addressing these needs and boosting retention.
Let’s dive in."
