Top 3 Ways to Boost Engagement During Economic Uncertainty
From the Workday Blog:
1. Personalize the employee experience by baking flexibility into your processes from the start, supporting your employees during moments that matter, and providing space for managers and their direct reports to communicate openly.
2. Strengthen values through transparency by directly addressing concerns, providing concrete answers and reasoning, and giving employees space to voice their reactions is imperative to maintaining company-wide engagement.
3. Build trust and psychological safety by actively listening to your employees.

I think the use cases will resonate with many of you based on what I've learned about your goals for this year.
