I would recommend this course to anyone new to managing employees…

They also made sure to follow up after the course, which provided some accountability for actually putting the ideas into practice. I would recommend this course to anyone new to managing employees, or managers who have never had any formal professional development in this area.” — Sheri Porrelli, Program Manager, Adult and Financial Literacy, READ Saskatoon

Three main reasons why employees are leaving the workplace

“By not understanding what their employees are running from, and what they might gravitate to, company leaders are putting their very businesses at risk.” — McKinsey & Company

Do you know what your employees are running from? What might they gravitate towards? Is your business at risk of losing employees?

As a leader you may think you know the answers but, according to McKinsey & Company, managers and employees do not agree on what’s the most important factors for staying at an organization.

McKinsey found in a recent study that top three factors employees cited as reasons for quitting were that they didn’t feel:

– Valued by their organizations (54 percent) or

– Valued by their managers (52 percent) or

– A sense of belonging at work (51 percent).

As an organization, by understanding the reasons why employees are leaving or would even consider leaving, you can take effective actions to not only retain but also attract potential employees.

How do you as a leader show you value your employees? What does the organization do in terms of making people feel they belong and are valued? Is your organization struggling with effectively engaging employees?

While there is no quick fix, the first step is to find out if your organization has challenges with employee engagement.

How much does employee engagement cost you and your organization?

 

How much does employee disengagement cost you and your organization?

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.)

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?

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

What actions are you going to take to re-engage with your employees?

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

Our Engage and Mobilize Employees Program focuses on simple but powerful behaviours that will have maximum impact on a leader’s ability to engage his or her employees.

The Cost of Disengaged Employees

 

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.
