Invest in your employees

In challenging times, it’s natural to focus on what needs to be solved here and now and to put out potential fires. At the same time, the business must work towards the long-term goals, and your existing employees and their commitment are needed to get there. According to surveys*, one of the most important factors for high engagement amongst the employees is their opportunities for development. When you can’t recruit new talent, put some extra effort into investing in your current employees instead. Look for opportunities to development for your employees within your organization, perhaps it can be a career change between different roles or departments. You can also create forums and provide time for knowledge exchange such as internal webinars or lunches.
