Food for thought ... for employee communicators

  • Nearly one-third of employees indicate that their managers do not effectively communicate the goals and objectives for their teams. – Hay Group book, The Enemy of Engagement.
     

  • Companies with “world class” employee engagement have three times the Earnings Per Share (EPS) growth rate compared with companies with lower engagement in the same industry. – Gallup
     

  • In the average big company, only 33% of employees describe themselves as fully engaged, 49% say they are not engaged and 18% are actively disengaged. In world-class organizations, the ratio of engaged workers to disengaged workers is about 10:1. In average organizations, the ratio of engaged workers to disengaged workers is about 2:1. – Gallup
     

  • Employees are more engaged when they believe their manager recognizes and appreciates good work. This factor alone was found to increase engagement 60% in low engagement workplaces and 20% in high engagement workplaces. – Towers Watson
