Are Your Employees Engaged or Disengaged? And Why You Should Care

Are your employees on the upper or lower half of this graphic? If your employees are disengaged, unmotivated and unhappy, you are in an undesirable majority. Research shows that disengaged employees outnumber engaged employees by a factor of two.

But, take heart. Employee engagement training experts have found common themes in the companies with engaged workers. Here are the differentiators. Companies whose workers are inspired and encouraged reflect the following:

• Leaders who believe in and model continuous improvement.
  
  
• HR folks who know how to train managers and develop employees so they can capitalize on their strengths.
  
  
• Teams that are based on collaboration, aligned outcomes, trust and accountability.
  
  
• Clear job expectations, supportive managers and a performance management system that provides fair, regular, trusted, accurate and timely feedback and coaching.
  
  
• Differentiated recognition of extra effort and superior work results.
  

No matter what your industry, your market or your offering, whether you are small or large, successful companies are built on the commitment and talent of their workforce. The more you thoughtfully and strategically invest in your people, the greater your opportunity for success.
