xpolinate: externships | sabbaticals | competitive collaboration

Keeping your people at work engaged is hard. Only 36% of the workforce is fully engaged at work. This may not be surprising given the many challenges leadership faced in recent months, including record increases in employee quit rates, implementing vaccine mandates, and planning for various combinations of remote and on-site work while trying to match worker preferences with leadership expectations. Organizations have lost sight of the basics, the greatest declines were in clarity of expectations, which is foundational to employee engagement.

What can you do?

Focus on the basics. Provide clear and frequent communication from leadership. Keep employees informed and engaged, organizational priorities should be clear and well communicated as changes occur while motivating them to get work done. Be good to your people and they will be good to you. This is contagious. Build a culture that creates happy teams and this will attract great people to work for you

Offer externships to your employees to maximize potential. Help your employees pursue their passion. Enable talent mobility. Encourage teaching, and mentoring. xpolinate is building a platform where you can find companies and organizations that offer externships to their employees in specific domains. Be a part of this movement.
