What Will Employee Engagement Look Like in 2022 & Beyond?

It has been almost two years since the government advised people to work from home, and yet there is still so much debate surrounding the everyday working life both now and in the future.

Is working from home just a phase we will grow tired of? Will offices ever return to full capacity? What about younger generations and their career development - what impact does working from home have on them? These are all questions that we hear time and time again, and yet it is still very much front of mind for many, but especially to those working in HR.

A real concern that has risen from the pandemic is how to combat employee engagement - particularly given all the discussion about The Great Resignation and employee burnout, which is causing many people to realign their careers and jobs in search of greater work life balance. Not to mention ‘generation goldfish’ - a term that was emerging pre-pandemic but has been exacerbated by our increasingly digitally dominated lives, meaning they are less likely to be loyal to a job or career path.
