As workforce dynamics evolve faster than ever, employees are now as belief-driven in selecting and staying with a company as a consumer is in buying and sticking with a brand.
At Edelman, we help organizations close the gap between employee expectation, perception and reality. We transform the way companies approach culture, change and communication – creating the conditions for exceptional business results powered by engaged, committed and loyal workforces – so that organizations can attract, retain and motivate the talent they need to drive forward their business strategy, today and in the ‘next normal’. We understand the complex employer-employee relationship. According to our latest Edelman Trust Barometer , employers are substantially more trusted than government, media and even NGOs.
But there is frailty in the employer-employee dynamic. With high trust comes high expectation. Employees expect to have a voice. They expect their CEOs to embody the organization’s values. They want to be involved in planning and partnering to co-create the future. They want to know their job has a meaningful social impact.
