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.
