Dis-engagement in companies
Dis-Engagement in your company?
Consider the price both at the commercial and psychological levels an organisation pays when only half the people are fully engaged and show initiative?
Research reveals that most workers are not fully engaged in, or are actively disengaged from, their work. As a result, companies are struggling to develop engaged workforces.. What can organisations do to build workplaces that foster higher levels of employee engagement?
Gallup’s rigorous research has identified 12 questions that measure employee engagement and link powerfully to relevant business outcomes, including retention, productivity, profitability, customer engagement, and safety. These questions, measure dimensions that leaders, managers, and employees can influence. After 80,000 in-depth interviews with managers in over 400 companies, Gallup says that measuring the strength of a workplace can be simplified to these questions.
The Gallup 12 is a series of questions that if addressed correctly can Maximise Employee Engagement.

- Do I have the materials and equipment I need to do my work right?

- In the last seven days, have I received recognition or praise for doing good work?
- Does my supervisor, or someone at work, seem to care about me as a person?
- Is there someone at work who encourages my development?
- At work, do my opinions seem to count?
- Does the mission/purpose of my company make me feel my job is important?
- Are my co-workers committed to doing quality work?

- In the last six months, has someone at work talked to me about my progress?
