Are your employees fulfilled? If not, it may be costing you a great deal. While nearly 100% of people in our research at Metrus Institute are seeking fulfillment – creating a lifestyle that brings exceptional happiness and inner peace – less than 20% are feeling that fulfillment in a big way. And it shows in other ways. Gallup reported that 49% of employees are actively disengaged, and Metrus finds less than one-third highly engaged.

Finish this sentence: ‘Today was a great day in work because…’. How about ‘… because I had a quick afternoon nap and had loads more energy to get things done.’? Or ‘… because I really unwound during today’s yoga session and felt a lot more focused afterwards.’? These suggestions may not resonate with you. But don’t write them off because these are some of the ideas making appearances on employee wish lists (and in several instances, in the actual workplace) when asked what perks appeal to them. Payscale’s 2016 Compensation Best Practices Report asked respondents what their employees’ top 10 company perks are. Around the same time Raconteur also compiled a list of some ideas about what could make your top 10 perks list. Incidentally, yoga appeared on both.

Is a great job with a great salary elusive? We all dream of having a stimulating, rewarding job that also happens to pay well. But is it really possible? Conventional thinking on salary and happiness tends to suggest no—that if we land a handsomely paid job, it’s likely to involve some kind of tradeoff in the happiness stakes.

The interest level peaked in 2016, and if the trend continues, it will expand beyond its current levels by the end of the year. But to what end? Gallup’s regular research into engagement points out a dismal picture, and companies are trying to improve this measure to no avail.

Motivation is not an easy thing to master, but the reward for getting it right can be massive. Much of the challenge comes from the varied and individualistic nature of motivation. Everyone is motivated by slightly (or dramatically) different things, and in different ways. Despite those variances, there's always a common thread you can follow to find success.

Asking employees to give their feedback on an employee engagement survey can be anxiety-provoking for executive teams. Leaders know that engagement is important and that they should be asking for feedback, but sometimes the survey results can be hard to take when they point to concerns around trust, communication, and organizational effectiveness. In my experience, executive teams either respond with openness and receptivity (the survey feedback may not be what executives were hoping for, but use it to focus and operate in the spirit of continuous improvement), or with defensiveness (punish others, ignore the results, explain them away, blame the timing of the survey, etc.).

With that in mind, here are eight retention strategies to keep your employees satisfied, engaged, and—most importantly—on your team.
