IRVINE, CA—Engagement, collaboration, well-being and productivity are necessary in the workplace in order to attract and retain talent, Dr. Tracy Brower tells GlobeSt.com. Brower, a work-environment sociologist and global VP of workplace vitality for Mars Drinks, as well as the author of Bring Work to Life by Bringing Life to Work: A Guide for Leaders and Organizations, which focuses on work-life integration and abundance, recently spoke at the CoreNet Global Southern California chapter event “Creating Workplaces That Really Attract and Retain.” We spoke with her exclusively after the event about the top workplace amenities that today's talent is seeking.
GlobeSt.com: What does it take to create a workplace that attracts and retains talent?
Brower: Based on our global research of 3,800 people, we found that attraction and retention are closely correlated with the four pillars of Workplace Vitality™: engagement, collaboration, well-being and productivity. Workplace Vitality, a concept developed through Mars Drinks' research, describes a workplace that is vibrant, thriving and alive with potential.
