You may want to brace yourself for this fact: a mere 13 percent of employees feel engaged by their jobs. That’s right, thirteen percent. This means that 87 percent (i.e., almost all) employees are disengaged at work. This statistic should be a wake-up call to company leaders. It’s time to realize the importance of employee engagement and begin making efforts to engage workers before it’s too late.
What is Employee Engagement?These days, there is plenty of talk about employee engagement. But, its definition remains fuzzy. Forbes contributor Susan Adams said that when employees are engaged at work, “they feel a sense of passion for their work, a deep connection to their employer, and they spend their days driving innovation and moving their company forward.” Can you just image the results companies would enjoy if most employees were engaged with their jobs? It would be wonderful for companies as well as the economy and global workforce.
