According to Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace, only 15 percent of employees are engaged at work. This means that the majority of employees are either viewing their workplace negatively or only doing the bare minimum to make it through the day! There are huge global variations, but in the UK the amount of engaged employees is as low as 8 percent — and has been declining steadily over the last few years.
- Good company culture increases revenue 4X
- Companies with highly engaged workforces are 21% more profitable
- Effective communication leads to more productive employees
How Engaged Are Your Employees?
In these unprecedented times, with employees working remotely due to the pandemic – engaging them is more important than ever. Good communication creates productive employees, and a more profitable business. However, we’re not there yet. A recent Interact/Harris Poll shows that 91% of the surveyed employees think that their leaders lack communication skills. What’s more, almost 1 in 3 employees don’t trust their employers, according to the Edelman Trust Barometer.
The way your employees feel is the way your customers will feel. And if your employees don’t feel valued, neither will your customers.
