Economic Intelligence Unit reports key employee engagement survey findings.  Two of these findings reveal that:

1.) C level Executives have a “rose tinted” view of employee engagement that is not shared by lower ranked employees. 47% of C level executives believe they have accurately determined levels of employee engagement, while only 16% of senior executives outside of the C suite share that belief.

2.) There is a significant delta between engagement promises (verbal promises/commitments) and action. 84% of survey respondents identified “disengaged employees” as one of their largest threats to the business but little is done to identify or take action with the disengaged. Only 12% of respondents see action from their organization when it comes to dealing with and managing the disengaged.

This is a predominant theme of Kelleher’s book, Louder Than Words, 10 Practical Employee Engagement Steps to Drive Business Results.
