Leaders who feel their employees are content would probably be surprised to find out that upwards of 75% of a company’s workforce may be open to - or are actively searching for - a new job at any given time, and that about 58 percent of US adults look, at least monthly, for a new job.
The only constant is change. The workplace continues to evolve in a whirlwind fashion. Working one career for one company are a thing of the distant past. Employees and organizations need to keep up with current trends to stay relevant. These six trends will continue to gain momentum in 2019.
It's important for every employee to find their WHY - their purpose - so they can enjoy work that is truly meaningful and inspiring to them. When employees are in roles that fulfill them, they will be more engaged, energized and productive.
Employees rely on their leaders to stay engaged at work. Leaders sometime have difficulties communicating with their employees which lessens engagement. Engaged employees become the leaders of tomorrow. What comes first: great leadership or engaged employees?
53% of workers in the US consider themselves disengaged with their job. What if there was something that could reduce that number? Behavioral assessments, such as DISC, are an excellent tool for leaders to understand & connect more effectively with their workforce, raising engagement & productivity.
Employee engagement can be directly tied to increased productivity and higher profitability for an organization. It takes a concerted effort from all members of leadership to ensure that workers stay engaged. Simply put, employee engagement should be top of mind for leaders every single day.
