HR.com Survey Indicates Most Companies Build Employee Disengagement into Their Business Models...
A new HR.com survey finds that the failure to implement a strategic approach to engagement has come home to roost, with 4 million Americans resigning their jobs in one month alone.
The key findings of the recent HR Research Institute survey of 374 human resources executives, finds that:
“Companies recognize the value of employee engagement, but do not prioritize it. While participants think that engagement positively impacts customer service (76%), well-being (74%), company brand (73%), retention (72%), and productivity (72%) to a high or very high degree, just 30% indicate senior leaders prioritize engagement, and only 24% say they invest enough in engagement-related resources.”
“Although a majority of organizations measure and share engagement, more than a third do not, and there is no consensus on the best way to measure it. A full 88% think there are reliable ways to measure engagement, but only 63% measure it and most commonly rely on performance management system metrics (55%).”
“Managers lack appropriate training to coach and develop employees toward a positive working culture. Only 31% train their managers in how to boost employee engagement, 43% provide career growth advice and associated opportunities to high degrees, and about half (48%) say managers spend the time coaching employees to develop strengths to a high or very high degree.”
The survey was sponsored by Workhuman, Terryberry, Achievers, Open Sesame, Harrison Assessments, Bonusly, Motivosity, Culture Amp, Blueboard and Nivati.
