With over 4 million resignations per month in the last 4 months, companies are beginning to feel the pain of an empowered workforce. Companies are losing legacy knowledge, understaffed to support customers or drive production, and burning out the team members who stayed with overwork. While the media and many organizations are looking to increasing pay as a solution, which is long overdue in many segments, an MIT report revealed something different. After examining 1.4 million Glassdoor reviews to identify the top predictors of departures, they found that "corporate culture is a much more reliable predictor of industry-adjusted attrition than how employees assess their compensation." In fact, their research showed that employees are 10.4X more likely to quit if their workplace has a toxic culture.


In this event, we bring together two experts on employee retention and engagement to share their insights about increasing retention through culture, namely creating belonging. Dr. Allessandria Polizzi, CEO of Verdant Consulting, will provide an overview of trends and approaches and will be accompanied by Rodney Sigler, Manager of Inclusive Resource Groups for National Instruments, who will share his experience creating connection.
