Course Description
Between April and September 2021, more than 24 million Americans set an all-time record for attrition by quitting, while another 40% of employees were considering leaving their companies. MIT Sloan Management Review reports toxic work climates, low compensation, and a lack of opportunities for advancement were largely to blame for the Great Resignation. With so much volatility in the labor market, how can you help employees find upward mobility, progress, and peace in their current workplace?
In these lessons, we’ll discuss the influence a work environment has on employee engagement. You’ll learn how to foster engagement and avoid disengagement by considering the attributes of both positive and toxic work environments. We’ll also examine the potential impacts of granting employees greater individual autonomy and empowerment in their jobs. Finally, we’ll cover different ways of maintaining your time affluence—the sense of having plenty of time available to get your tasks done each day—and how you can help employees learn to do the same.
