Making Work Feel Like a Community
As part of the most complete platform for the modern workforce, Community helps employers deal with critical workforce challenges, including The Great Resignation, changing workforce demographics, and the rapid shift to mobile and hybrid work. The employee experience has never been more imperative, as evidenced by recent research from the MIT Sloan Management Review, which found that corporate culture is 10 times more likely to contribute to employee departures than a company’s compensation.
“The modern workforce is expecting so much more of their employers,” said
Many clients use Community to replace communication channels that either don’t reach all employees or are ignored. It quickly becomes the single source for all company updates, connecting employees across locations, even those that are deskless or completely remote.
Community has also been proven to positively impact employee engagement and business outcomes based on data from Paylocity’s Modern Workforce Index (MWI). Built with patent-pending artificial intelligence and based on best practices from 30,000+ clients, MWI provides an overall score of an organization’s health, performance benchmarks to peers, and tailored recommendations to improve efficiency and employee engagement. Companies using Community show higher employee sentiment and overall MWI scores. More important, companies with higher MWI scores also experience on average 15%+ lower attrition and faster headcount growth.
