Employee retention is one of the biggest challenges during Mergers & Acquisitions. Many M&As are motivated by a desire to access fresh talent, yet employee turnover can be as much as 70% following a merger.

In recent years, employers have been taking a more proactive approach to tackling employee burnout. Many companies take a big-picture approach, looking at everything from workloads to wellness benefits. The results have been positive, with lower absenteeism, stronger retention and improved productivity.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives are a great way to build a welcoming work environment for everyone on your team, regardless of demographics. But even the best DEI programs can’t solve the day-to-day issues facing some groups of employees.

Let's face it: people are busy. Our inboxes are flooded, phone calls get screened to avoid distraction, and social media is oversaturated with content. Great recruiters know they must get creative with communication methods if they want their message to a candidate to stand out.

Employee engagement surveys are only valuable when organizations act on the results. To get meaningful insights, leaders must design clear questions, analyze patterns across teams and tenure, and communicate findings transparently. The greatest ROI comes from translating survey feedback into measurable action plans that strengthen culture, retention, and performance.

Many organizations recognize that diversity, equity, and inclusion should be business priorities, but translating this recognition into executive support and budget allocation remains a significant challenge. While 76% of employees say diversity is important when evaluating job opportunities, according to Glassdoor research, only 34% of companies have executive leaders who are actively champions of DE&I initiatives.
