With expanding to-do lists, shrinking resources, and meaningless mission statements, it can be a struggle to keep employees excited about their job and workplace. Creative approaches to engagement, such as adding nap pods and implementing engagement surveys, are part of the story but alone don't solve the problem.

Leaders who listen to the needs of employees and encourage them to design better ways of working help build a culture that retains and attracts top talent.
