Executive Summary Research by AON Hewitt tells us that nearly half of the worlds employees are not engaged, and that each disengaged employee costs your organisation an average of $10,000 in profit annually. Why is employee disengagement so high? Is it something all organisations just have to live with or is there a way of managing it and perhaps converting disengaged employees into team members who are happy and enthusiastic about their work? There are many benefits to having a workforce that is engaged in their work. Employees who are actively engaged in their work: are happier and less likely to move on to another competitor tend to feel less stressed and call in sick less feel that their actions matter so are more likely to work diligently which increases quality and productivity have positive attitudes about their company, management, co-workers and customers making them more likely to share their time and talents and bring their best ideas and creativity to their workplace Unfortunately, the recent climate of economic uncertainty has thrown many organisations into turmoil as they struggle to make changes so they can maintain a competitive foothold in the marketplace. It is the employees who are feeling the strain as their employment or promotional prospects look shaky and internal communications dry up while senior executives work out how to deal with the situation. Thats where employee disengagement enters. In this paper we pose the following questions: Is your workforce destined to remain disengaged? What does that do to your business performance? More importantly what does it do to morale? Is disengagement contagious? Is it systemic? What can you do to overcome disengagement? We found that in many cases, employee disengagement is a systemic organisational issue. It is caused or aggravated by out-dated systems which ignore the basic needs of the employee and exist primarily for the benefit of the business. Its an old strategy which is well past its use-by date. Successful organisations have identified the main factors behind disengagement and have begun to address them. They have realised that their leaders hold the key to employee engagement because they are the meeting point between employee and organisational needs.]]>

Studies reveal that both employees and business corporates continue to struggle with problems that are in fact, two sides of the same coin. Ironically, they are threading on the common issue of employee disengagement. A recent survey by AON Hewitt reveals that virtually half of the worlds employed workforce is underproductive and disengaged; further inferring that a disengaged employee individually costs the organisation an average of $ 10,000 in profit annually. While employees end up plateauing on their jobs when they ideally have a lot more to contribute, business corporates are burdened with the adverse effects of employee disengagement. In a world where motivation drives efficiency and fuels creativity, it becomes imperative that corporates empower a smarter and satiated workforce, thereby capitalising on their collective intelligence for a common outcome. So, why is employee disengagement a persistent problem that most corporates struggle to deal with; and is there a way to build a motivated and engaged workforce? Statistics disclose that the number one factor known to influence and contribute to an employees disengagement is in fact, the level of engaged leadership their immediate managers and supervisors have on them. A team that enjoys a healthy employee-managerial relationship contributes to increased productivity and resonates with the collective goals of the team and organisation at large. An engaged and satisfied employee: Is self-motivated, promotes employee competiveness and superior performance amidst team members Resonates with increased self-esteem and morale, creating a positive and healthy work culture in the organisation Is satisfied with current job and company, hence reducing the risk of employee attrition This e-book addresses the adverse implications of employee disengagement and its role in the corporate structure. In this e-book, we highlight key factors that contribute to employee disengagement; while discussing remedial measures to overcome them. ]]>
Studies reveal that both employees and business corporates continue to struggle with problems that are in fact, two sides of the same coin. Ironically, they are threading on the common issue of employee disengagement. A recent survey by AON Hewitt reveals that virtually half of the worlds employed workforce is underproductive and disengaged; further inferring that a disengaged employee individually costs the organisation an average of $ 10,000 in profit annually. While employees end up plateauing on their jobs when they ideally have a lot more to contribute, business corporates are burdened with the adverse effects of employee disengagement. In a world where motivation drives efficiency and fuels creativity, it becomes imperative that corporates empower a smarter and satiated workforce, thereby capitalising on their collective intelligence for a common outcome. So, why is employee disengagement a persistent problem that most corporates struggle to deal with; and is there a way to build a motivated and engaged workforce? Statistics disclose that the number one factor known to influence and contribute to an employees disengagement is in fact, the level of engaged leadership their immediate managers and supervisors have on them. A team that enjoys a healthy employee-managerial relationship contributes to increased productivity and resonates with the collective goals of the team and organisation at large. An engaged and satisfied employee: Is self-motivated, promotes employee competiveness and superior performance amidst team members Resonates with increased self-esteem and morale, creating a positive and healthy work culture in the organisation Is satisfied with current job and company, hence reducing the risk of employee attrition This e-book addresses the adverse implications of employee disengagement and its role in the corporate structure. In this e-book, we highlight key factors that contribute to employee disengagement; while discussing remedial measures to overcome them. ]]> Fri, 25 Sep 2015 23:52:46 GMT /slideshow/leadership-key-ebook/53212572 SoniaMcDonald1@slideshare.net(SoniaMcDonald1) Leadership Key E-Book SoniaMcDonald1 Studies reveal that both employees and business corporates continue to struggle with problems that are in fact, two sides of the same coin.
