Creating a Caring Culture to Attract and Retain Talent
The key to retaining top talent and becoming a coveted workplace can be summarized in a simple concept: care. Limeade reports when employees feel their employer cares about their well-being, they are 38% more engaged.
What are your assumptions about work?
It wasn’t too long ago those typically included that work was contractual, adversarial and money motivated. When you consider work at the time was more routine and compliance was more important, among other things that makes sense.
But work has transformed. Employees’ demands have changed. The understanding of leadership has changed. And if that is true, then solving for the workforce of yesterday won’t work.
The key to retaining top talent and becoming a coveted workplace can be summarized in a simple yet undervalued concept: care. In fact, Limeade reports when employees feel their employer cares about their well-being, they are 38% more engaged.
In this presentation, Limeade’s chief people officer and chief science officer Laura Hamill and Limeade Institutes people science team lead Julianne Tillman shares research on the science of care and why it can become a company’s competitive advantage in the talent war. Key topics covered include new research connecting perceptions of care to employee well-being, engagement, retention, and loyalty, a hierarchy of care that guides employers to evolve from basic need like security and respect to an evolved employee experience that connects to purpose and social good, plus strategies for showing every employee you care in an authentic, scalable way.
Key takeaways include:
- How a caring culture is the key to attracting and retaining top talent
- The benefits received from transforming into a caring organization
- Actionable recommendations that can be used across multiple, diverse organizational settings
