We’re experiencing a shift in the way we work. Employees are feeling burned out – more than ever before. Disengagement is rising. And it's become increasingly clear that most employers simply aren’t meeting their people’s needs.

All of this has culminated in ‘The Great Resignation,’ with millions of workers leaving their jobs and employers scrambling for solutions.

But this is only the beginning.

We're facing a revolution in how we approach work. A new kind of employee experience is long overdue. It’s time to treat employees like humans first, and workers second. It’s time for #TheGreatRetention

On this show, Prem Bhatia and John Duisberg, co-founders of Cooleaf in Atlanta GA, will be unpacking the wisdom from today’s top business executives of organizations making extraordinary strides to meet this demand while building remarkable work cultures.

Through sharing their wisdom with you, our mission is to transform the Great Resignation into ‘The Great Retention’.

👉 We aim to create a world where every employee feels supported.

👉 Where remote workers feel connected and engaged.

👉 Where employee feedback is heard and acted on.

👉 Where diversity, equity, and inclusion are a central part of every company culture.

👉 Where every workplace is purpose-driven.

That’s #TheGreatRetention. Will you join us?
