Effective communication is critical to the success of many organizations and for the day-to-day responsibilities of working individuals. But the ideal form of communication can change dramatically from one situation to another. The optimal way for bosses to communicate strategic plans to their team, for example, likely differs from the best way for two coworkers to discuss a point of contention.

Most companies know employee engagement drives success. In fact, disengagement costs the global economy $438 billion, and if all employees were engaged, there’d be a $9.6 trillion boost in productivity. However, measuring engagement can be tricky. What does an engaged employee look like? And if you can’t define that clearly, how can you track it?

In today’s rapidly shifting business environment, it’s easy to believe that the secret to agility is reorganizing your structure. But too often, organizations fall into a pattern of restructuring by default, not by design. The result? Constant organizational churn, unclear roles, lost productivity and frustrated employees. At AlignOrg Solutions, we call this overreliance on org charts “boxology.

Miscommunication is fixable, I promise. You finish explaining the task, feeling confident. A few days later, it’s done—wrong. Now you’re frustrated. You thought you were clear… so why didn’t they get it? This happens to leaders all the time. Here’s the problem: We think we’re communicating. But what we’re actually doing is assuming. And when you assume people understand what you meant, what you value, or what success looks like, you’re setting them up to fail.

Years ago, I was in the middle of a major transformation at a company I cared deeply about. New strategy. New structure. All the signs that something important was underway. I remember sitting in a meeting shortly after the announcement, trying to make sense of what it all meant. I wasn’t overly concerned about my own role but I was proud of what the company stood for, and I didn’t want that to get lost.

What are personality styles? Let’s say you walk into the meeting already frustrated. Your project manager seems irritated. The usually talkative team member is quiet. Halfway through, someone misreads your tone and shuts down completely. You leave the room wondering, “What just happened?” It’s not that you’re a bad leader. It’s that no one ever taught you how to lead different people differently.

When employees are actively engaged, they become champions of your company culture and collaborate actively across departments in innovative ways. But employee engagement isn’t a binary; it’s a spectrum. Employees can be actively engaged with their work and your organization. Or they might not be engaged at all, meaning they’re still getting their work done, but they won’t go out of their way to innovate or take on additional tasks.

Do you know the warning signs of employee turnover? According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics from January 2024, an employee’s median tenure with their company is 3.9 years. Employee turnover describes any situation where an employee ends their tenure for one reason or another. Some turnover is voluntary, meaning employees choose to leave for retirement, to pursue other opportunities, and for other reasons.

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

Every organization experiences turnover. As much as you might want to keep top performers, train leaders up from within, and build better teams, people will eventually leave. But there are two key differences between regrettable turnover and other types of turnover: who leaves and whether you can do anything about it. With regrettable turnover, you lose a top performer because of something firmly within your control.
