In-depth assessment of current policies, tech, culture, and generational dynamics.
Systemic policies and hyper-tech are driving Gen X to Gen Z disengagement. The cost to your Employee Experience and balance sheet is escalating.

This immense cost underscores the urgency of the situation: the vast majority of working-class people across the globe are on a bell curve from unprepared to unengaged. If serious reimagination is not implemented this decade, Gen X to Gen Z disengagement is assured for another, companies will not solve for the critical Employee Experience (EX) they covet, and CFO balance sheets will move into "next level" galaxy costs.

The mass retirement of baby boomers is impacting the workforce and economy on a global scale, causing labor shortages and skill gaps in many industries as experienced workers exit.
If serious reimagination and changes are not implemented into organizational transformation this decade, Gen X to Gen Z disengagement is assured for yet another decade, companies will not solve the critical Employee Experience (EX) they covet and CFO balance sheets will move into “next level” galaxy costs.
