Why Now?
Unemployment levels are at an all-time low
A labor shortage is taking place in many cities and companies around the world. Also, the US fertility rate is at an all-time low (around 1.9 children per family), so we are not replacing the workers we have.
Employee retention is a CEO concern
86% of business leaders are deeply concerned about employee retention and engagement. The average worker changes jobs every 4.4 years. Employee leadership development can help improve retention and reduce employee turnover costs.
Employee expectations are changing
According to a Gallup study, only 29% of millennials report being engaged at work. This is critical because millennials will make up 51% of the work force in 2021!
