“Prior to the pandemic, employers leveraged Employee Engagement software and solutions to unlock workforce potential and drive productivity,” said Steve Smith, CMO and partner at The Starr Conspiracy. “Now employers are turning to the same work technology to hold together workplace cultures as employees are quitting at record rates and we’re seeing more job openings than candidates willing to fill those empty positions.”

The 2022 Employee Engagement Market Map details what kinds of features and functions are required to meet buyer expectations and highlights dozens of solution providers in the market that are demonstrating success. In the report, two key things must be true for a solution to be considered Employee Engagement technology:

1. Surveying, listening, and reporting — Specifically, about employee sentiment (direct) and/or activity (indirect)
2. Acting, communicating, and enabling — Specifically, addressing what comes up proactively and reactively
