Worried your employees want to quit? Here’s an easy way to increase engagement

Giving workers the chance to explore different roles and challenges can drive engagement and build stronger teams.

Employee satisfaction is plummeting, and businesses are struggling to keep their talent engaged and fulfilled. Research by Gallup shows that 51% of employees are actively looking for other work. While the top reason for this trend is predictable—employees are looking for higher pay and better benefits—there’s another reason worth exploring: lack of career development and opportunities. This trend highlights the need for organizations to implement strategies that will inspire their employees to stay, and one way to do this is through emphasizing cross-functional mobility.
