In a survey of HR professionals at the recent National SHRM Conference, the BPI group found that increasing employee engagement is one of HR’s most significant challenges for the coming year. These results are hardly a surprise. Organizations are receiving dismal data on the rate of their employee engagement - and it costs them. Gallup calculates that actively disengaged workers cost U.S. businesses $300 billion a year in productivity losses.
In today’s market, organizations can no longer rely on top-down, one-size-fits-all engagement programs. You need to start building employee commitment organically from the bottom up. This approach isn’t about surveys or engagement programs. It’s about empowering employees and managers to work together in a balanced and sustainable way to increase the discretionary effort on strategically-aligned activities.
