Employee Engagement
As competition in the workforce steadily increases, companies who want to attract, engage, and retain top talent, must invest in strategies that make them appealing to current and prospective employees. This is especially true for millennials as they make up the largest population, at 77 million employees, currently entering the workforce. In order to retain the best talent, employees must be fully engaged within the organization and the work that they do. Studies from organizations including Pew, Cone, Gallup, Deloitte, and Dr. Brittany McDonald’s own empirical research have found that increased employee engagement leads to increased productivity and ultimately increased profits.
