“It goes without saying that no company, small or large, can win over the long run without energized employees who believe in the mission and understand how to achieve it.” – Jack Welch, former CEO of GE

Do you help your employees understand how important their work is to the business success?

If not, you may be missing out on your employees’ best efforts.

It is energizing to know when your natural abilities contribute to achieving a mission. This brings purpose to the work. Using natural abilities is the ‘zone of genius’ where employees excel!

Take Action – To help your employees thrive in their zone of genius, share how their talents and work contribute to the organization’s mission.

Can you name the genius that each of your employees contributes to the workplace?

To develop more strategies our Great Engagement: Engage and Mobilize Employees Training Program focuses on simple but powerful behaviours that will have maximum impact on a leader’s ability to engage his or her employees.

The Great Engagement’s Urgent Call to Organizations

Post author By mgauthier
Post date November 26, 2021

The Great Engagement urgently calls organizations to actively engage their employees.

Do you know how to actively engage with your employees to have the most positive impact?

Please note, saying “be thankful you have a job!” is not an effective way to engage your staff even though an “attitude of gratitude” is powerful. If this is your approach then don’t be surprised if you are hosting more good-bye parties than welcome parties.

Employees want more than a paycheque.

The three most common reasons Gallup found employees to be disengaged at work were:

Not seeing opportunities for development
Not feeling connected to the company’s purpose
Not having strong relationships at work

Which one of these apply to your organization?

Which one will you strengthen to increase engagement with your employees?

What actions are you going to take to actively engage your employees?

The Great Engagement is an urgent call to action for businesses to retain and attract great employees.

While there is no quick fix, there are simple leadership practices that can produce immediate improvements in engagement.

What are the costs of not actively engaging your employees?

Post author By mgauthier
Post date November 25, 2021

What are the costs of not actively engaging your employees?

The Management Journal’s semi-annual Employee Engagement Index reports that 60% of employees are not engaged, and 15% are actively disengaged at work and only 25% are actively engaged.

According to Forbes, the costs of a disengaged employee is equivalent to 34% of their annual salary, or $3,400 for every $10,000 of income.

If we applied this to the average Canadian salary of $55,800 a year, the costs of a single disengaged employee to the business is going to be $18,972 annually.

Let’s apply this to an entire organization.

Let’s say you lead an organization of 100 people.

If we use the Employee Engagement Index which states only 25% of employees are actively engaged, then 75 employees are disengaged at your organization.

If we use the average salary of those employees as $55,800 then this employee disengagement is costing your organization annually: $1,422,900 ($18,972 X 75 people.)

This example demonstrates that there are concrete costs due to employee disengagement.

Are you surprised by the magnitude of this cost? What is the actual cost to your organization? Are you OK with the return on this investment?

The Great Engagement is an urgent call to action for businesses to retain and attract great employees. It’s your choice: you will either have the cost of disengagement or invest in engaging your employees.

While there is no quick fix, there are simple leadership practices that can produce immediate improvements in engagement.

The Next Era: The Great Engagement

Post author By mgauthier
Post date November 22, 2021

During the pandemic people have had the chance to reevaluate their life. Some have reflected on their level of happiness around their job and career, life priorities and goals, and overall well-being.

Acknowledging their discontent, people are making big changes in their lives and are leaving jobs that are not fulfilling and some are even completely changing careers.

Dubbed as the Great Resignation, millions of Americans have quit their jobs with 4.4 million quitting in September alone with the highest quit rate among not engaged and actively disengaged workers.

Numbers are not tracked in Canada, but researchers say smaller studies suggest the trend of job quitting and job switching is happening in Canada, too.

Canadians are shifting jobs into industries where they are more engaged and the job gives them more job stability, better hours, better pay, and is more aligned with their life goals.

We believe that this is the dawn of the Great Engagement for today’s workplaces.

More businesses are waking up to the reality that they need to actively engage their employees to retain and attract employees.

What’s the level of engagement and disengagement in your organization?

What side of the job switch will your organization experience: the Great Engagement or the Great Resignation?

While there is no quick fix, there are simple leadership practices that can produce immediate improvements in engagement.

Here are some quick tips:

Find ways to help your employees grow and develop skills on-the-job
Share how your employee’s talents and work contribute to the organization’s mission.
Praise your employees easily, sincerely and often

The Cost of Disengaged Employees

Post author By mgauthier
Post date September 13, 2021

Employee engagement impacts employee morale, productivity, innovation and problem solving and customer service. Any one of these can impact the business bottom line.

The Management Journal’s semi-annual Employee Engagement Index reports that 60% of employees are not engaged, and 15% are actively disengaged at work and only 25% are actively engaged.

The impact of employee engagement or rather disengagement is hitting businesses’ bottom line hard. In fact, the lack of employee engagement is a billion dollar problem.

According to Canada Human Resources Centre, unhappy workers cost the North American business economy over $350 billion per year in lost productivity.

So how much is this disengagement costing you and your organization? According to Forbes, the costs of a disengaged employee is equivalent to 34% of their annual salary, or $3,400 for every $10,000 of income.

If we applied this to the average Canadian salary of $55,800 a year, the costs of a single disengaged employee to the business is going to be $18,972 annually.

While there is no quick fix, there are simple leadership practices that can produce immediate improvements in engagement.

We are offering a program that focuses on simple but powerful behaviours that will have maximum impact on your leaders’ ability to engage.
