NameAccepting Average: HOW CAN WE IMPROVE THE LEVEL OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
DescriptionAcceptingAverageInterviewer to CEO: “How many people work at your company?”
CEO: “About half.”

Our recent market survey showed that more than 30% of employees are actively disengaged and the perception of employees is that managers are more disengaged than employees. Are we becoming accustomed to accepting average performance?

Are people just born that way? The answer is no – ineffective and poorly trained managers create disengaged employees. With more than 50% of managers being assessed as not effective, the problem is huge.

The impact of disengaged employees costs organizations a fortune. Productivity lost to disengaged workers was reported at about $156,000 each year for each employee! If 54% of employees do not feel engaged, do the math. The lack of engagement hurts!

The top three factors reported by employees to build engagement were under the influence of their managers. Managers are the key to building employee engagement and can be trained to succeed.

Relationship building is the cornerstone of increasing the level of employee engagement and it starts with the manager. Managers need to earn engagement – not demand it.

We found three levers of relationship building for managers to follow and build employee engagement in their teams. Increasing engagement also relates to higher productivity and profitability, greater revenues, and improved customer satisfaction.

The great irony of management is that the managers who are best at getting the most from people are those that give the most to them.

Find out how to improve engagement – and your bottom line – by reading our white paper, Accepting Average.
