<br />
Managers can agree that employee engagement and retention are at the top of their priority list.<br />
<br />
Every company wants to attract and keep the best talent.<br />
<br />
The problem?<br />
<br />
Many employees in today’s job market quickly feel uninspired by their work, get bored after 2 years and start job hunting for something new.<br />
<br />
Quick turnover drains companies, both financially and creatively. Quantifying exactly how much it costs businesses to replace every employee who leaves is a challenge, but estimates are out there. Here are some highlights from a collection of estimates on the costs of employee turnover:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>6 to 9 months salary. (That’s well over half what you pay an employee in a year. For an employee making $100,000 a year, the cost of turnover could be as high as roughly $75,000. Ouch.)</li>
<li>16% of annual salary for jobs with traditionally high turnover, such as entry-level media jobs</li>
<li>20% of annual salary for jobs requiring mid-level experience</li>
<li>213% (not a typo!) of annual salary for top-level executive positions, including CEOs</li>
</ul>
<br />
All these numbers point to the same basic conclusion: employee turnover is expensive.<br />
<br />
Outside of financial burdens, employee turnover puts a ceiling on the quality of a team or individual’s work. The reason? Companies with high turnover have fewer employees with a high degree of institutional knowledge. If most employees leave a company after just a few years, then the company never benefits from that golden combination of skills, talent, and critical institutional knowledge that helps business thrive.<br />
<br />
So we decided to speak with some of the best HR professionals and business leaders around the country to find the strategies and employee engagement best practices that they recommend. There are also some tips and employee engagement ideas that work for our company. <b><a href="https://www.snacknation.com/blog/employee-engagement-ideas/">CONTINUE READING</a></b><br />

Herman Miller invited 80 up-and-coming designers across the US and Canada to four Future State workshops. They shared their hunches, blue-sky ideas, anxieties, and crazy bets about the future of work, offices, and the evolving role of designers. We’ve distilled these into seven predictions for how the environments they’ve creating might look five, 10, or even 20 years from now.<br />

The experts at Gensler make a great point about the different uses of co-working. While it certainly has value to entrepreneurs and remote employees for obvious reason, it can also complement the traditional office space to provide an alternative setting for employees looking to break up the monotony of being in the same office everyday. <a href="https://www.gensler.com/research-insight/publications/dialogue/34/managing-a-work-anywhere-culture?utm_source=social&utm_medium=linkedin&utm_campaign=dialogue-34">Read the article at Gensler.</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899958.post-37391063258765078572019-08-26T14:00:00.000-04:002019-08-26T14:00:00.160-04:00Lincoln’s New Design Emphasis Includes a Partnership With Herman Miller<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The modern working life is a complicated entity, with as many people thriving as there are those who struggle to get through their daily routine. Whether you’re the former or the latter, the fact is that everyone is susceptible to falling victim to workplace burnout.

Walmart is investing in a brand-new campus, which the retail giant publicly announced today. The complex of buildings, set across 350 acres of native-seeded greenery in Bentonville, will create a new hub for 10,000 people on Walmart’s central office team.<br />
<br />
Based on the early details, Walmart’s campus looks something like Nike’s, which opened in 1990 in Beaverton, Oregon, and features buildings dotted around a network of running trails. Likewise, the focus of Walmart’s new headquarters will be the vast green space outside its walls, intended to pull people outside, featuring hiking and biking trails that integrate directly into those within the area. “It’s meant to be open and invite the community and our neighbors to use the campus,” says Hatfield. <b><a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/90351045/walmarts-sprawling-new-hq-will-feature-hiking-trails-daycare-and-fitness-facilities">READ ARTICLE</a></b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899958.post-3842272536245428532019-06-30T08:30:00.000-04:002019-06-30T08:30:01.327-04:00The best way to sit at your desk for every type of work task<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Freedom. Energy. Variety. With benefits like these, who wouldn’t want to work in an open office? A lot of people, as it turns out. The very things that make an open office great can also make it a pain for those who crave order and focus. So how do you help people realize the benefits of their unassigned workplace? Start by encouraging two behaviors we’ve observed in productive workplaces with unassigned seating.

Since 1960, the percentage of physical activity at work has decreased by about 30 percent, largely due to the increase in office jobs that require sedentary work.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We know that sitting is linked to health complications such as weight gain and increased risk of heart disease. In fact, one study even purports that people who exhibit sedentary behavior are more likely to die early.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you work in an office, chances are you spend more time there than you do at home, if you don't count sleep. If you don't optimize the place you spend 40-plus hours each week, you can't really expect healthy habits to spill over into the rest of your life.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And if you work from home, it's even more critical to set up a workspace that's conducive to healthy workplace habits, because an at-home workspace presents a unique set of challenges (like your couch calling your name just a few feet away).</div>

Here are five ways to stay healthy and comfortable at work. <b>Continue reading at <a href="https://www.cnet.com/how-to/your-desk-job-wreaks-havoc-on-your-body-heres-how-to-fix-it/">CNET</a>.</b></div>

<br />Gone are the days of employees trapped in isolated booths, heads down with little social interaction. For many businesses, gone still is the ubiquitous open-plan style that followed. Instead, office design has shifted towards flexible working, with spaces to suit different needs, such as co-working and collaboration, socialising and private research.<br /><br />Research shows that people believe they are more comfortable if they have the opportunity to change their environment. <b>Continue reading at <a href="https://www.raconteur.net/business-innovation/office-design-future">Raconteur.net</a>.</b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
