In our final episode of our "engagement and retention" series, we also take a look at HR technology and how the right HR tech can enhance employee engagement and retention, or in some cases, hinder these efforts.

Technology is rapidly transforming the way we manage people, from performance reviews to employee feedback. But with so many options out there, how do you choose the right tools? And how can you ensure that technology is actually helping to build stronger relationships, rather than replacing them?

We explore:

• how technology can help improve retention and engagement
• the potential pitfalls of over-relying on tech
• practical tips for teams on getting the most out of their HR tools

Continuing this season's theme of engagement and retention, in today's episode we explore Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and how it's essential for building an engaged, inclusive environment that not only makes employees feel valued but also improves retention.

DEI isn’t just about compliance—it’s about creating a culture where everyone can thrive. Research shows that companies with strong DEI initiatives have higher retention rates and more engaged employees.

We discuss:

• what is DEI
• why DEI matters
• how it links to employee engagement and loyalty
• practical strategies for fostering an inclusive workplace
