CHROs and executives are preparing for the coming storm, which may already include hiring freezes, layoffs, burnout, and budget cuts. According to the latest HR Exchange Network State of HR survey, 38% of HR Professionals, agree or strongly agree that their organization is preparing for a recession.

Employee engagement will continue to be a top priority in 2023, but employers risk disengagement in times of crisis, especially during an economic downturn with the threat of turning into a recession. Employees can become anxious about their future. They might start looking for other opportunities outside the company, or they may just become complacent as they confront low morale. 

The good news is that HR professionals have the means to apply continuous employee engagement strategies to remove obstacles, provide support and create opportunities for the entire organization.
