Onboarding & Retention: Enhancing the Employment Experience
Susan Ney interviews StoryTiling Co-Founder, Aliaa Remtilla, on the HR Inside Out podcast:
ABOUT THE EPISODE
Most organizations are struggling with retention of talent and skill shortages. A lack of social connection at work is a widespread problem – made worse by remote and hybrid work.
Did you know that:
57% of employees feel invisible at work.
20% of new hires will quit their job in the first 45 days.
Many don’t even show up on day one (particularly when the gap between offer and start date is long).
According to a 2021 research study by McKinsey, a lack of connection and appreciation is the number one driver for attrition! In fact, people are nearly three times more likely to quit because they don’t feel like they belong at work than because of poor compensation.
In this episode, Susan interviews Aliaa about ways to address this issue. Aliaa discusses ways companies can foster stronger, more authentic human connections amongst their employees. And she explains how anthropology and tech can facilitate this by providing a simple, automated way to create impactful, personalised films that show employees they matter.
