- Employee Engagement
Research consistently shows empathy is one of the strongest drivers of performance, engagement, and retention.

- Employee Engagement
Engagement does not deteriorate slowly at the beginning of the year. It declines quickly and often quietly. By the end of February, HR teams are already seeing signs of disengagement that leadership did not anticipate. The issue is not that employees resist change or lack motivation.

For HR, January is not a launching season. It is a credibility audit.
