CURA and KeenCorp offer solutions that can help businesses overcome their staff retention challenges by monitoring and measuring employee engagement.<\/p>\n
This is particularly important in the current environment, with a combination of the \u2018great resignation\u2019 and hybrid working impacting businesses.<\/p>\n
For example: between January 2021 and February 2022, data shows that almost 57 million Americans quit their jobs<\/strong><\/a>. This is a 25% increase compared to pre-pandemic times, and comprises more than one-third of the United States\u2019 working population.<\/p>\n A similar trend can be witnessed in South Africa, and many local businesses have lost many of their employees as a result.<\/p>\n Among the most common reasons for this phenomenon is the fact that employees are looking for better opportunities and working environments that suit their needs and skillsets.<\/p>\n This has been accelerated by the pandemic, which forced people to work from home and changed the global working dynamic.<\/p>\n According to a Harvard Business Review<\/strong><\/a> article by Keith Ferrazzi and Mike Clementi, the great resignation could more accurately be called ‘the great exploration.’<\/p>\n \u2018Exploration\u2019 is a more constructive and empowering way to frame the discussion, rather than \u2018resignation\u2019, stated the article.<\/p>\n “If you\u2019re focused on the latter, you\u2019re reacting to a symptom rather than addressing the root cause,\u201d explained Ferrazzi and Clementi.<\/p>\n In South Africa, the issue of staff retention is further complicated by emigration \u2013 fuelled by factors such as economic uncertainty and instability, according to a BusinessTech article<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n This has been dubbed \u2018the great uncertainty\u2019 and refers to people moving to other countries in search of a more stable environment.<\/p>\n This includes places like the UK and Australia, which offer both economic stability and job security.<\/p>\n CURA – a leading provider of governance, compliance, risk, and risk-based audit software solutions – is committed to helping businesses navigate the great resignation successfully.<\/p>\n It has partnered with Dutch software supplier and business process analyser KeenCorp to offer the KeenCorp Index solution \u2013 a leading human capital management tool.<\/p>\n This tool allows businesses to measure employee engagement simply and efficiently within the workplace.<\/p>\n The KeenCorp Index provides businesses with an AI enabled dashboard that shows in real-time how employees collaborate internally.<\/p>\n This information can then be used to find areas where employees are unhappy or unengaged, and improve those systems accordingly.<\/p>\n Addressing these areas of concern boosts employee morale and results in better retention rates, as employees truly feel valued and engaged.<\/p>\nExploration and uncertainty<\/h3>\n
