Optimizing Your HR Tech and People Strategies

Although there are circumstances where compensation can play a role in motivating employees to “quiet quit” or even leave all together, the research that has emerged recently is clear that employers must look beyond traditional compensation to motivate and retain.

At a time when budgets are tight, organizational trust is low, and employee burnout and disillusionment still exit, how can employers gain a competitive edge?

How to Motivate and Retain Employees in 2024

Driving lasting culture transformation is critical for organizations aiming to achieve and sustain a competitive edge – today more than ever before, in this hybrid/remote world of work.

Driving Lasting and Impactful Culture Transformation

2023 presented organizations with unique set of challenges. Many grappled with the complexities of return to office and hybrid work models, while employees faced uncertainties and struggled to place trust in their organizations amidst sporadic layoffs, surging inflation, and rising cost-of-living. 

The Achievers Workforce Institute’s 2024 Engagement and Retention report finds that the #1 reason to job hunt in 2024 is for better compensation — a big change from past years, with twice as many people saying they will job hunt to find better compensation in 2024 compared to 2023. So, what does a new focus on compensation mean for employee attraction and retention? 

Join industry leaders for this session where they'll share how to leverage employee recognition and engagement initiatives to make an impact on the bottom line. They'll discuss how organizations can empower employees to make that meaningful difference, build trust, and demonstrate value by balancing their emotional and financial needs. You'll learn:

•     Recruitment and retention strategies designed for long-term success in the modern workplace 
•     How to foster a culture of recognition, connection, and trust at work

Reframing Employee Rewards and Recognition to Extend Your Compensation Strategy

With two-thirds of employees planning to job hunt in 2024, HR leaders must find innovative ways to engage and retain. 

According to the latest research from the Workforce Institute, most employees say they'd rather stick around at a job where they felt valued and supported than one where they were paid 30% more but didn't feel that way. When inflation is high and budgets are tight, how can organizations leverage non-monetary incentives to keep employees happy, healthy, and committed to their jobs?

Motivating Beyond Money: How to Boost Emotional Salary

Confused about where to start? Don't be. When it comes to launching and building successful employee recognition programs to build engagement and a sense of belonging, we’ve got it covered.

Before you can launch your employee recognition program, it’s important to understand exactly where you are on the journey so you can focus your efforts accordingly. You may be in the very early stages of convincing the rest of the organization about why recognition is important and getting executive buy in. Or you may have already got sign-off and support for a recognition program structure, but are unsure on how to go about the goals and objectives. Perhaps you are ready to implement your program but you need to know more about who to include, what implementation looks like, when to launch, and how you're going to make it happen.

For HR leaders, knowing the importance of belonging is only half the battle. Developing a strategy to impact and measure belonging for every employee is crucial to building a happier, healthier workforce and driving business results that surpass the competition in 2024 and beyond.

The latest research from Achievers Workforce Institute identifies four factors of effective managers and lays out the actions HR and business leaders can take to empower managers in each of these areas. From better one-on-one meetings and coaching to recognition and development, organizations that improve managers' capabilities in these areas can double manager effectiveness - enhancing team engagement, productivity, and retention.

Four Factors to Boost Manager Effectiveness

The pressure is on for HR leaders to discover cost-effective strategies that enhance engagement and retention within their organizations. According to The State of Recognition Report from Achievers Workforce Institute, there’s a significant return on investment that employee recognition initiatives can yield, as frequent recognition has been proven to motivate and retain employees effectively.

Individuals who receive monthly recognition demonstrate higher job commitment compared to those recognized less frequently, such as quarterly or sporadically. However, recognition doesn't have to be extravagant or expensive to be effective. Even a simple, meaningful "thank you" can have a powerful impact on engagement and retention, on par with recognition programs that offer points or monetary rewards.

In this panel discussion, we'll explore best practices for enhancing the quality and quantity of recognition and valuable insights on maximizing engagement and retention through recognition initiatives.

How to Supercharge Engagement and Retention with Employee Recognition

There's no doubt in the data: frequent recognition is a key driver of motivation and retention, and increasing employee recognition has a high potential return on investment. In fact, individuals who are recognized at least monthly have higher job commitment than those who receive recognition quarterly or less often. But does recognition require money or points to be effective? Or could a simple, meaningful "thank you" be enough to move the needle on employee engagement and retention?

Join Achievers' Dr. Natalie Baumgartner as she sits down with Cadillac Fairview to discuss the different roles that social and monetary recognition play in helping drive business results and best practices for increasing recognition frequency and impact. You'll learn:
•     How social vs monetary recognition contribute to creating a culture of appreciation

•     Real-world examples of how you can optimize your organization's recognition program to drive engagement, retention, and productivity

Driving Retention and Motivation with Social and Monetary Recognition

Business and academic research shows that a culture of belonging and connection is one of the most powerful predictors of employee and organizational success in this new era of work.

Organizations leveraging the power of belonging and connection enjoy enhanced employee engagement, job performance, and significantly higher levels of top talent retention. Strategically fostering a workplace culture of belonging and connection goes beyond mere rhetoric; it requires integrating intentional actions and initiatives in how you do business.
