Training Mag., Bob Kelleher, March 21, 2011, 10 Tips to Continue to Engage Employees During These Challenging Times
Bob Kelleher, CEO of The Employee Engagement Group shares alarming employee engagement statistic:
- In December, 2010, Economic Intelligence Unit reported that 84% of C Suite executives say that disengaged employees are one of the largest threats to their business
- A December 2010 report COrporate Leadership Council Study reported that only 25% of employees have a high intent to stay with their current employer
- According to Hewitt, 46% of organizations experienced a decline in engagement in June 2010-the largest they have seen in 15 years.
Kelleher defines employee engagement as, ” a mutual commitment between an employer and employee where the employer is helping to grow and develop it’s employees, and employees are helping the business or entity be successful. This commitment is built through a culture of trust, open and frequent feedback, shared vision and goals, and a deep understanding and commitment that we’re in this together“.
