Employee Engagement
Business owners and leaders - what motivates your staff? How engaged are they in your business?
According to Gallup Organizational Survey data from 2014 representing over 2.4 million US employees:
- 31.5% are FULLY ENGAGED and passionate about your company
- 51% are NOT ENGAGED, are sleep-walking through their day and only putting in their time
- 17.5% are ACTIVELY DIS-ENGAGED and undermining the work of others
And get this - the fully engaged number is an improvement over previous years! So an astonishing 2/3 of employees are not performing to their potential (possibly due to their work ethic or barriers presented by the company) or are actively working against the organization's mission and goals. Less than 1/3 of employees are motivated to buy into the mission, vision, values, goals and objectives of their organizations.
What would ratios like this do to your business? What would the effects be on your sales, customers, suppliers organizational performance, brand and reputation?
So here's an assignment for you:
- Ask yourself what motivates you as the business leader
- Ask staff what motivates them
- Analyze their responses for trends, surprises
- Assess how much overlap you find with your own motivations
- E-mail me with your results!
If you want to talk more about your findings and how to boost staff engagement/productivity, give me a call at 763-551-4777.
