Did you know only 25% of leaders have what it takes to motivate and engage staff?
Submitted by Rebekka Squire on December 15, 2011The number one thing that defines a High Performing Workforce is Emotional Commitment, but did you know only 25% of leaders have what it takes to motivate and engage staff?
It is quite clear that both Australia and the USA have an engagement and productivity problem. Disengagement is said to be currently costing Australia approximately $33 billion in lost productivity, leading to the the fifth quarterly productivity decline in two years. Disengagement is costing the US a whopping $300 billion a year in lost productivity. Market research on engagement shows that almost all large businesses measure engagement year in, year out, and roll out initiatives to lift engagement. Unfortunately over half of these achieve no lift in their engagement scores as a result, and the results for one out of every six actually go backwards. Furthermore, of those that actually manage to lift engagement, the average increase in scores achieved is minimal at 5%. Not only does this paint a bleak picture for the future of the economy, it highlights the need to identify and validate new approaches to lifting engagement that are both economical and scalable. So what’s a solution? A: Lift the emotional intelligence (EI) of managers to improve employee engagement.
