Engagement: Re-Engage Your Workforce in this Job-Hugging Era Presented by Paycor
Wednesday, August 5, 2026 2:00 PM EST
Tags: DEI, Virtual, Free
Not long ago, the biggest fear was turnover. Employees were leaving in waves, chasing better pay, more flexibility, better everything. Now? They’re staying. But not because they’re engaged. But because they are “job-hugging,” where employees cling to stability while quietly disengaging from the work itself. They’re showing up, doing what’s required… and little more. In this session, we’ll unpack what’s really driving this shift, why traditional engagement strategies are falling flat, and most importantly what leaders can do to bring people back to full participation.
