Field Report: Why Employee Retention Is Being Driven by Organizational Change, Not the Economy
Insights from business leaders on how internal change is reshaping employee trust, engagement, and attrition.
Retention challenges are often tied to external pressures. But inside organizations, employees are responding more to internal change — restructuring, leadership decisions, and shifting expectations.
In our recent community discussions, 81% of members said organizational change is the primary driver of employee uncertainty, far outweighing economic or societal factors.
As uncertainty becomes constant, employees are paying closer attention to how leaders communicate, follow through, and show up day to day.
This Field Report explores how that dynamic is affecting trust, engagement, and retention, and where leaders are focusing now.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- Why organizational change is the leading driver of employee uncertainty
- How leadership behavior is shaping trust during periods of volatility
- Where retention risk is emerging, including among high performers
- Why engagement data isn’t translating into employee confidence
Download the Field Report to see how your peers are navigating retention in a period of continuous uncertainty.
