Inclusion, Equity & Belonging
Are you concerned about attracting and retaining top talent?
Consider your employee experience. How are you ensuring your employees are included and feel they belong?
According to Gallup, with only 32% of employees being engaged, the ability to attract and retain top talent is critical to a company’s success. Without intention and awareness, leaders and other employees unintentionally offend and alienate others. Organizations need employees who notice and act on inappropriate behavior rather than remaining silent and think, “Someone else should say something” or “I’ll say something later.”
Organizations are spending over 172 billion dollars on EEOC and Discrimination Cases over the last five years - SHRM Report, 2021
