Key Insights from the Webinar

Russell focused on the 6 C's of Employee Satisfaction, explaining what employees need to thrive and do their best work:

• Compensation: Attracting and retaining talent requires more than competitive pay. Businesses must address underlying issues and create meaningful interactions.
• Community: Fostering a sense of belonging is essential. Employees who feel they don’t belong are significantly more likely to leave, with 51% citing this as a key reason for departure.
• Career: To retain top talent, organizations should provide clear career development paths, emphasize learning opportunities, and balance essential skills with trainable ones.
• Cause: Employees need to see the purpose behind their work and understand how their roles contribute to the organization’s mission.
• Company: Align work structures with employee preferences and needs while offering meaningful, cost-effective benefits.
• Culture: A strong, positive culture is critical. Toxic cultures drive turnover more than pay issues. Organizations must demonstrate their values authentically through stories and actions.
