Building Belonging through Improv to Enhance Employee Retention

Employee retention is more than just a cost-saving measure—it’s about preserving institutional knowledge, strengthening teams, and attracting top talent. While many organizations attempt to boost retention through surface-level perks like swag or pizza parties, true retention comes from fostering alignment, trust, and a shared sense of purpose.

In this interactive session, we’ll explore what truly drives employees to stay engaged and committed. Through a mix of discussion, real-life experiences, and improv-based exercises, participants will learn how to build stronger workplace connections, create a trauma-informed culture, and address accessibility gaps in benefits that impact retention.
