    Aug 29 2022

    It refers to the fact that people are leaving their jobs at alarming rates right now. 😱


    But it may not be the people you imagine…


    Research has shown that people are leaving EVEN when they’re well-paid and they have the flexibility to work remotely. 🖥💰


    Even though these employees SEEM to have the ability to basically create their own perfect job, they’re not sticking around.

    Why❓❓


    A lot of organizations are asking the same question. 


    And that’s exactly the topic J Joe Cundall, Partner at Lead Shift, and Kham dive into in this episode of the Business is People Podcast.


    Tune in to learn….


    👉Why every company desires what Joe calls a “want to” culture with a workforce that brings its A-game every day.


    👉The tips and tactics companies can use to build a profitable organization that mitigates turnover. 


    👉How to harness the four forces of engagement (work, leader, team, and culture) to retain your best people.


    👉 Why leadership is the single most important factor of engagement for your team. 


    👉How to evaluate your company culture: is it sustainable and meaningful or not?
