Paid time off, generous raises, bonuses, and even free coffee. Each of these are tools used by employers to improve retention. However, these mechanisms don’t address the concerns of the employee who doesn’t feel comfortable in their work environment. Without knowing and addressing the reasons an employee may feel excluded, other measures to increase retention are for naught. Today’s ADVANCE Weekly Roundup article comes from the Harvard Business Review and emphasizes the importance of fostering an inclusive workplace environment on retention of employees.
Today’s feature was shared with us by Michael Olson. If you have an article you think we should feature, please email it to advance-mtu@mtu.edu and we will consider adding it to the ADVANCE Weekly Roundup.
