The Essentials of Engagement | Blog - 0 views

  • Employers are scrambling to figure out how to attract and retain this new more flexible, entrepreneurial, and purpose-driven workforce. 
  • hile this is certainly not true for every employee, one of the greatest and growing challenges that Common Impact hears from companies is that employees vocalize an enormous demand for wanting to give back to the community – but then don’t sign up for the opportunities that their employers provide. 
  • No level of creative marketing and or well-placed engagement carrot can replace the empathy and experience that drives true engagement.  We need to connect our people more deeply, more simply, to the people we’re trying to serve through our community impact work.
