Employee retention during the Great Resignation?

The statistics are powerful- according to a recent report out from CNBC, roughly 1 in 3 workers are now considering leaving their job. The estimated cost of a valued employee leaving your organization is estimated to be one and one half times their salary.  The dollars add up not to mention the impact on your customers. At M3, we see the tremendous concern and overwhelming challenges organizations are experiencing recruiting and retaining top talent. Never have we experienced such a radical change in the workforce and the M3 team felt compelled to shift the outlook for struggling leaders, giving them the tools they need to tackle the challenges of these times.   

At a time when a guiding compass is needed most, we’re applying our research and team of experts to create Workforce EQ, a new service that provides companies with a proven method to identify gaps that may lead to talent loss or team burnout. Workforce EQ is a powerful tool that goes beyond resources and surveys, coupling a leader’s care and concern for their team with top HR leaders that will be a key partner in guiding organizations through such challenging times.

Why investing in your employees saves you money over time:

How do we create a plan:

With Workforce EQ clients will have a trusted neutral partner to uncover those areas that are not coming up in engagement surveys and internal meetings.This new service analyzes performance in the key areas that affect recruitment and retention and creates a custom action plan.

We review your company’s current approach to the following areas:

  • Talent acquisition and retention strategy
  • HR capabilities
  • Leadership development
  • Internal policies and procedures for hybrid, remote, and/or in office work
  • Organizational effectiveness in fulfilling your mission and core values

Workforce EQ helps companies understand their greatest opportunities for improvement and then matches them with an HR expert to tackle these areas, leading to higher levels of recruitment, engagement and retention.

At M3 Placement and Partnership, we believe in helping our clients from the inside out.

How do we do that? Start with people.


We are incredibly passionate about people, and the work that can be done in the workplace to be able to support individuals and their families. We help clients to change and grow their organization to meet their employees where they are in life. The result? Employees have confidence that their employer cares, and employers see more engaged, focused employees who are mutually invested in growing their business.

Starting the Conversation:


Start Simple:
In a time where people are so emotionally charged by many personal stressors like the health and safety of their families, their financial futures, the state of our world…the list goes on. A personal “check in” asking, ‘how are you doing?’ and ‘is there a way I can help?’,  goes a long way and will make a meaningful difference in the lives of your employees.

4 easy steps to start the conversation:


Step 1: Talk about it. Have a workplace culture where people feel safe to discuss mental wellness. Create an environment free of stigma where employees can talk openly about mental health, and do it regularly by finding what works for your business.

Step 2: Take the temperature by engaging an expert to facilitate and open up the conversation on mental health. Need help finding someone? Consult with your local Chamber of Commerce for a listing of mental health professionals in your area.

Step 3: Engage leaders to be authentic and lead with compassion. Now more than ever, emotional intelligence is being called upon. If you’re not even in that arena, start with Verb who offers plug and play collections on topics like emotional intelligence, mindfulness, conscious management and more.

Step 4: Give access to help by offering some simple, accessible solutions like online therapy through Lyra or meditation through Headspace. Don’t stress about implementing a major program or campaign, just let your employees know what your plan is to support them!

Christina Carroll || Associate Vice President, Brand and Team Performance, HealtheConnections

We are incredibly mission driven, so finding individuals who are the right fit for our culture is the most important part of our talent acquisition strategy. Finding the right recruiting partner was no different! M3 immediately understood our culture and team and goals, even new hires thought M3 had been working with us for years. That’s how well they knew us and were able to represent us. We consider partners like M3 a part of the team – they even have a place on our org chart. Their commitment to understanding who we are and what our needs are is the best part of working with them.

Blair Jones || Managing Director, Semler Brossy Consulting Group, LLC

The M3 team is incredibly action oriented in their efforts to get to know us – from the start of our engagement they really wanted to understand what differentiates us so that they could be a better advocate for us in hiring the right people. Even once the candidates were hired they followed up with them again to make sure it was a good fit and later down the road, they celebrated the promotions and advancements of those candidates within our organization. It feels like their team is really part of our team. 

Nicholas Alger || Managing Director of Operations, Workforce, Technology, and Facilities, NYSTEC

We have very strong values at our organization and we really wanted to partner with a company that had similar values and cultural alignment for our specific HR needs. The professionals at M3 that we have worked with over the course of the last few years have been professional, personable, and highly knowledgeable. They have brought a lot of expertise to the table and have integrated with our own team internally, developing strong relationships and bonds with our team. No matter what the HR challenge has been, Mary Malone and her team can always align us with someone who has that expertise we need.

Gar Grannell || Chairman and CEO, Mohawk Global

When we were searching for a new executive leader, we had ideas for our position and, after talking with Mary Malone we were able to create a position that served our company in a much more holistic way centered in our vision, purpose, and core values. Mary Malone and I both have a passion for Conscious Capitalism so she was able to take this and what she knew of my leadership philosophy and our company culture and add another dimension. So much of M3 comes from Mary Malone’s heart, she believes passionately about the work that she does and the team she leads. Her team is so authentic about caring about people and for people.

Amanda Monthie || Director, Global Talent Acquisition, Plug Power

The M3 team has spent so much time with us- finding out what’s important to us and our culture- in order to find us new talent. They use their expertise to guide and advise us to make great business and talent decisions, which allows us to take our organization to the next level. The team has a down to earth, authentic communication style and they have blended so well with our TA group that we truly think of them as an extension of our team. They are genuinely good people who put their customers and clients first and make sure you really are taken care of. It’s a pleasure to work with such a people driven organization.

Alan Leist || Chairman and Founder, Strategic Financial Services

As we have grown, finding new talent has been a top priority, especially finding talent that is also a cultural fit. Mary Malone and the M3 team have been personally invested in our success. They have such a high level of care for our team and our success- they truly act as an advocate for our organization. As an expert in human resources, they have led, managed, developed, and encouraged our professionals. We were honored to be voted as a best place to work in the country for financial service providers our size. We attribute that in no small part to our partnership with Mary Malone and M3.
