Retention in the time of the Great Resignation with Lauren Dai #68
In the episode, Nick Day is joined on The HR L&D Podcast sofa by COO & Co-founder at Cocoon, Lauren Dai! Cocoon is a business founded by three powerhouse women focused entirely on reimagining employee leave management. In this episode, we discuss how to make employee leave easy and how doing so can significantly impact employee retention in the wake of the Great Resignation.
Employee leave benefits are complicated, and Cocoon was founded to bring clarity and simplicity to both the employer and employee experience.
