Harnessing Data to Identify Burnout Early and Boost Retention
Employee engagement and retention have been top of mind for leaders in recent years, particularly as the pandemic shifted where and when work is performed. With the ever-changing job market, retaining employees and maintaining high engagement is becoming more and more challenging. A leading multinational consumer packaged goods company with $50 billion in annual revenue experienced incredible success with year-over-year growth in revenue and was looking to stay ahead by identifying patterns of overwork and burnout after noticing early warning signs. In order to address this issue and ensure its workforce goals were tied to its business strategy, the organization increased its focus on leveraging employee networks to improve ways of working and ultimately drive innovation.
