If your business is enjoying high levels of retention, great! But does that mean employees are engaged or even satisfied with their work?

According to the recently published Engagement Paradox Report, 45% of employers are not looking to change roles in the next two years, but 74% would leave their jobs when the economic climate improves! In other words, just 26% of employees are satisfied in their role.

This report highlights the importance of reliable employee engagement monitoring programs and having specific strategies to address dissatisfaction and poor engagement, especially from your good people.

Disengaged employees are at an increased risk of leaving - they might be checking out SEEK right now! But a lack of engagement also means your operation or business is more than likely performing at a sub-optimal level. There is a direct correlation between the level of employee engagement and productivity, the former simply being profit generated per employee. Both are easy to measure and monitor, the challenge is making time and prioritising the high pay off management activity.

Time or a lack of it, is mostly the issue. Supervisors and managers have less opportunity or focus to properly and constructively engage with employees, and often the only communication is negative or instructional. An ideal program for employee disengagement.

Developing a positive working relationship with your employees is surprisingly easy and at least one way of dialling up engagement levels. Talking to them about life outside of work, taking the time to get to know your team and providing positive feedback are just some of the ways you can keep employees engaged and happy.

We are happy to provide support and assistance in creating an employee engagement program for you, helping to keep your staff happy and motivated, increasing retention for all the right reasons.
