Insights is a show powered by Emplify to empower Executives, HR professionals, managers, and leaders of all kinds with the best in class information to help your employees unlock their true potential.

The reality is, right now you have questions. We all do. We’re in uncharted territory while our social feeds, news stories, and inboxes are full of blogs, webinars, videos aimed at providing you with answers. There has to be an easier way to get our questions answered quickly without having to comb through the masses of content available. At least, that’s what we thought, which is why we are introducing ‘bite-size insights.’ 

We’ve turned to our community to fuel this new series with questions sourced from you. 

For the first episode in our series we’re answering our most asked question over the last few weeks: communication.

You’ll hear Adam Weber, Chief People Officer and Co-Founder of Empilfy along with Nicole MacLean dialoguing around the what, how, and when for communicating with your team.

Among all the reports created and research conducted, the reality stands: your workforce is not as engaged as you think. What’s the impact of this lack of engagement for your organization? 

According to Employee Benefit News, it costs employers about 33% of an employee’s annual salary to replace them. If you have 500 employees making $45,000 a year and 165 of them leave it will end up costing $2.5 million. 

The impact goes beyond financial. This week’s episode shares insights on other ways engagement (or lack thereof) can cost an organization. Listen in to hear John Grover, Chief People Officer and Co-Founder of Endsight, and Adam Weber, Chief People Officer and Co-Founder of Emplify.

Do you have a false sense of security when it comes to your employees? In our research, we found we found that 72.7% of people are "currently open to a new career opportunity” And those who are open could be the very people you thought were highly engaged. 

This week we are bringing back Nick Smarrelli, CEO of GadellNet Consulting Services along with Adam Weber, Chief People Officer and Co-founder of Emplify to discuss the impact turnover can have on an organization. 

Now before you think, “well this doesn’t apply to us.”  Our research found that 63% of people who have been at their current employer for 10+ years are open to a new opportunity. While  77% of people who have been with their current employer for less than 1 year and are looking for another opportunity. So no matter where you fall - this could definitely be impacting you. Let’s hear what insights Nick and Adam have to share.

This week we are discussing a serious issue: burnout. To share his insights we are joined by Nick Smarrelli, CEO of GadellNet Consulting Services along with Adam Weber, Chief People Officer and Co-founder of Emplify. 

Why is burnout such a serious issue? From the research we’ve conducted an alarming 62.2% of people report experiencing burnout at work and of that 62.2 % the burnout is happening as often as daily - and the larger the company, the more employees reporting burnout. 

This data shows that more than half of employees today may have negative feelings toward their job or be less productive because of burnout. The impact of burnout is more than just disengagement from their role it’s also both physical. Ultimately, this does result in high performers leaving companies. 

Take a listen to this episode to learn how you can address burnout in your organization.
