Most publications attract a handful of true fans — readers who devour every post, share content on social media and open every newsletter. . But in the long run, understanding who doesn’t regularly read your content — and why — is far more valuable. If you can identify the disconnect between your content and your audience’s needs, you can begin to close the gap and increase engagement. .

Why would only a small fraction of registrants attend the live virtual conference? Because the incentive to be there is less than the pull of their daily lives. They know the meeting is going on, but their email or project or phone can’t be ignored. They know they can access the sessions later on, which further disincentives them to attend. When attendees assume the conference is a compilation of passively viewed webinar-like sessions, there’s little reason to participate live.

Loyal members do more than just stick around. They put your organization’s resources into practice, advocate for your mission, and persuade new members to join them. They’re the key to a long lasting, healthy membership program. By contrast, members who are present due to inertia are at best indifferent and disengaged. At worst, they’re actively unhappy and might even dissuade new members from signing up.

Employee engagement is a key part of building a healthy, successful organizational culture. A good test way to test your company’s culture is to look at how the employees approach each new work day and project. . If your team walks in smiling and ready to dive in, you know you’ve built a good culture. But if everyone seems uninterested in their work, productivity and morale will be low, and turnover will be high. .

Virtual conferences have become an essential tool for many associations. They’re a lifeline for staying connected with your members when meeting in person isn’t possible. They also offer members and sponsors much of the same value as in-person conferences, with the cost-effectiveness and convenience of attending online. And, as with in-person conferences, they’re great for driving non-dues revenue.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
