Many companies are integrating their intranets with mobile platforms and adopting more advanced tools to engage and communicate with their employees.

An Employee Value Proposition (EVP) is the promise an employer makes to their employees in return for their commitment to the organization and the skills and contributions they bring to the table.
This promise consists of all the key components — such as benefits, perks and rewards — that each employee will receive from their employer in return for their dedicated service.
An EVP is a special arrangement between the employer and their employees and it sits at the core of every organization’s employer branding strategy. It clearly defines what a company stands for, and why it’s a unique and desirable place to work.

Many of today’s employees are failing to take full advantage of their retirement benefits and running the risk of being unable to retire comfortably.
In fact, in a national survey of employees with workplace retirement plans, 71% listed “living comfortably in retirement” as a top life goal.

So, how can organizations engage employees and encourage them to maximize their retirement plans? It all starts with well-executed employee communications.
In this blog, we’ll break down how to communicate retirement benefits to employees, so they feel secure and empowered while planning their financial future.

The “Great Resignation” is raging on in 2022, with 4.3 million workers quitting their jobs in January alone and resignations up 23% above pre-pandemic levels. This HR phenomenon refers to the roughly 33 million Americans who have quit their jobs since the spring of 2021, causing a ripple effect of recruiting and retention difficulties for companies in every sector.
Between older workers retiring early, secondary earners deciding to stay home, and a vast majority of employees simply quitting to get better pay or treatment, this stall-out in the talent market is making it next-to-impossible for many employers to attract and retain top talent.
So, how do you hold onto your employees and engage new talent to reduce turnover and improve your talent acquisition efforts? It all starts with demonstrating just how much you value your people.
Because the truth is: if you don’t show it, they’ll seek it elsewhere.
