It’s no secret that employee retention has been increasingly difficult over the last number of years. In such a competitive market, it makes sense to invest in your employees to attract and retain talent, boost productivity and foster innovation.

I have been working on a really interesting Employee Engagement project recently with a local business, speaking to employees to really get under the skin of what needs to improve in the organisation to retain top talent. Businesses need to do more to keep staff happy and staff need to speak up if they need more in order to stay...the grass isn't always greener!
Completely agree, from a personal perspective I think flexibility is one of my top preferred aspects. More recently within the wellness space we are seeing financial coaching online services emerging in the market that have a positive impact on better mental health.
Good to see wellbeing access in your top 3. Happy to help with options on how that can become real.

5moCouldn’t ageee more. I think culture plays a massive part in an employees decision to stay. I don’t think wellness programmes a couple of times a year will ever trump an employee feeling comfortable in their workplace. The ability to speak up, ask questions, take time off, feel heard, feel able to prioritise their family over work etc is something businesses are still not placing enough focus on .
