Employee Engagement
According to the 2023 Gallup Poll, only 30% of the U.S. workforce is actively engaged, with 50% disengaged and 20% actively disengaged. Low engagement levels contribute to higher job turnover, absenteeism, quality defects, and reduced profitability.
In order to get your team's full attention and effort, you must inspire them to believe in their work. A small increase in employee engagement can create a ripple effect throughout an organization, leading to substantial improvements in multiple measures of performance. Our employee engagement workshops focus on developing team purpose to get the full buy-in of every team member.
The Role of the Manager
A team's manager is the key determinant of their engagement. According to Gallup research, 70% of the variance in employee engagement is down to the manager alone.
It is the responsibility of the manager to make all employees feel like they are growing and developing, and to establish a higher team purpose for employees to aspire to. This is not a simple task, but it can be made possible with specialised programs, such as Everything DiSC Management® which targets the core managerial skills of motivation and talent development.
