How involved are your staff?

Are they proud of working with your organisation? Do they speak positively about your services and products? Will they go the extra mile for you and your customers? In Involved Employees we look at what gets in the way of people thriving on their work and how to fix this. Get involved at involved employees.com or contact us at involved@ergoclear.com

Free engagement

These are the top reasons why employees say they are planning to leave their organisations within the coming 12 months, and fixing them does not cost a penny. Surprisingly pay ranks much lower than having career opportunities and providing recognition for work done well. So put your check book away and say thank you for their good work and find ways for your staff to climb your corporate ladder. In order of most important for disengagement:

1. I have no career advancement opportunities
2. I am not rewarded or recognised for my work
3. I am bored with my job
4. I can get better pay elsewhere
5. Management communicates badly with me
6. Other
7. The culture at work is not supportive or friendly
8. There is a poor work/life balance
9. There are unreasonable pressure and demands at work
10. I have a poor relationship with my manager
