Employee Impact
Today's workforce has shifted from team players to individuals. For most individuals, teams are now a choice, not the norm. The isolation of covid has reformed how we see ourselves, the work environment and the work we do. A sense of mortality (time limits) hovers above the jobs we choose and our commitment to them. Our mortality as employees now include the stress on our emotions (personal safety), finances (payment and benefits), minds (mental wellness), bodies (physical wellness), impact on relationships (quality of life) as the next elevation of employee benefits.
Employer Impact

Why our New Model for Workforce Retention Works
YIJ Workforce Retention and Intervention Trends is motivated by our post-covid shifts, socio-cultural mindsets, and the integration of a blended intergenerational workforce. Often, the values and expectations of each generation expecially those new to the workforce have a significant impact of the culture of the workplace. For younger generations; typically 30 and under opportunities such as summer youth employment, internships, work culture and work ethic have been cultivated independently of traditional workplace systems and are deeply influenced by the extension of technology, media and immediacy creating personal expectations that include the pairing of technology in-hand at all times. Other growing trends directly influence the potential work and marketplace and the existing worker must adapt as younger generations begin to assume larger percentages of the workforce and consumer spending.
With these trends in mind, YIJ has identified several retention pathways that will sooth training transitions and build healthy bridges based on the brand identity of the workplace, workforce and individual workers.
Social and Holistic Career Pathways that potentially requires training, experience and/or unique gifts and abilities that pay a living wage and consists of a growing and transient market. This collective is often in their business part-time and seek ways to increase their customer base and recognize the growing demand for their products and/or services.

Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) how can companies embed these costs in their EAP programs.
Workforce Revitalization, according to Mental Health America, in the U.S., experiences 98% of mid to large companies offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), but only about 4% of employees use them on an annual basis. They recommend employers to increase its employees understanding of the EAPs, including services offered and accessibility, and privacy.
The primary reasons why employees are not using EAPs are 1) Employees awareness that it exists, 2) knowledge of services offered and thier relevance to the employee, 3) the fear that their employer may be tracking their usage of services and use the knowledge against them in some way. These key factors prevents employees from seeking services.
