She even taught the SHRM prep course, but she walked away when it started feeling like a waste of time for folks who weren’t ready to be there, but they were still gladly taking their money! Wendy is also certified in internal workplace investigations and DiSC personality training. Oh, and she’s a Dale Carnegie grad in leadership and empathy—because those things matter.

Wendy has worked in and across diverse industries including healthcare, dental, professional services, technology, manufacturing, construction, engineering, non-profit, higher education, federal contractors, public safety, and government agencies – to name a few.

What Is Your Employee Engagement,
Attraction and Retention Strategy?

The Great Resignation Has Stalled, But Quiet Quitting Has Not.

Organizations should focus on cultural change which starts with HR and management training.

  • Quits in 2024: Approximately 39.6 million U.S. workers quit their jobs in 2024, an 11% decrease from 2023 and a 22% drop from the peak in 2022.  (Wall Street Journal)
  • Employee Engagement: In 2024, U.S. employee engagement fell to a decade low, with only 31% of employees engaged and 17% actively disengaged. (Gallup)
  • Intent to Leave: In 2023, 47% of U.S. and Canadian workers (onsite, remote, and hybrid) stated they were actively seeking new roles with the intent to leave their current jobs.
  • Quiet Quitting: Across the U.S. and Canada, 52% of workers are not engaged, and another 17% are actively disengaged but still employed (i.e., quiet quitting).
  • Thriving at Work: Only 31% of employees and managers report “thriving at work,” with onsite workers faring worse at 27%.

Employee Engagement Remains Low; Stress Levels Are High

Effective management policies and practices can positively influence both engagement and stress levels.

  • Pay and Benefits:  72% of adults reported feeling stressed about money at least some of the time, and 29% cited money as a source of stress almost constantly. (APA)
  • Wellbeing/Work-Life Balance: 79% of employees experience moderate-to-high stress levels, with younger employees (16-24) and women showing the highest stress levels. 
  • Engagement/Culture: The decline in employee engagement continues, with only 30% of U.S. employees engaged.
  • Feelings of Disconnection: Workers across all settings—onsite, remote, and hybrid—feel undervalued, unsupported, and disconnected from their teams.
  • Managerial Stress: Managers are also experiencing high stress levels, with 56% of actively disengaged managers reporting stress at work.
