There is not a successful company in the world that hasn’t faced its share of hard times. Whether it be a mass withdrawal of leadership, a shift in the company’s goals and objectives, or even a lack of resources and funding, there will be times when employees will find themselves extremely overwhelmed, confused, and on edge, especially right now. According to a recent study completed by Gallup, most disengaged employees can cost companies up to astonishing $550 billion a year in loss of productivity, not to mention the hiring and onboarding costs to replace them. This can be troublesome for some companies, especially those who might possibly be facing the repercussions of a possible economic recession looming just around the corner.
Now knowing that the facts are there: if companies are not willing to give their employees enough reason to stay, it’s most likely won’t. After the initial concerns begin to start, the fear will start to set in.
For HR and Talent acquisition leaders, this can be a cause for concern. HR and Talent teams at your company may have to start regrouping to reignite the enthusiasm amongst your team and ramp up engagement with potential talent. But they will have to be prepared to manage and continue to build excitement and keep the wheels in motion to help key talent stay on the right path and motivated to do their best work. But what are some key ways HR leaders can continue building excitement and engagement amongst company talent during difficult situations happening right now?
