Build a Better Workplace with Better Engagement

Your all-hands meeting should be one of the most powerful employee engagement and culture tools you have. Everyone should look forward to yours. Do your employees, and fellow executive team members look forward to your all-hands meetings?

Employee loyalty is not what it used to be. There are dozens of studies attributing employee turnover to a variety of reasons across categories such as senior management, transparency, mission, values, engagement, and more (articles and studies below). Organizations with an “I-don’t-want-to-miss” all-hands meeting, can and do affect positive change in all of these categories.

YOUR all-hands meeting must be something everyone looks forward to – employees and leaders alike
