We hope the year is off to a great start. Did you know that 40% of U.S. employees have changed jobs, roles, or managers since 2020? Keeping employees engaged has been a big challenge. Advantages aside, remote and hybrid work environments are not helping drive retention and engagement.

One effective tool for creating employee engagement is investing in your employees’ growth and development. Internal mobility programs are playing a significant role in helping companies secure, develop, and grow their existing talent. An IBM survey into the future of internal talent mobility found that 90% of respondents believe internal mobility enhances employee career satisfaction, and about 80% believe it improves retention and culture fit.

Let’s dive into what’s new in employee engagement and motivation, explore the latest trends in leadership and management for turning challenges into successes, and uncover innovative solutions for hiring and onboarding that you can adopt this year.

Helping people find the right role to fulfill their potential is vital to creating organizational value, driving career development, and ensuring well-being. And good development programs involve mentoring and coaching.

Coincidently, January is National Mentoring Month. As part of your internal mobility and development program, create opportunities to pair employees for mentorship and coaching. This year, build a culture that gives your employees the career they aspire to.

See you next month!
