Recommendation

Nearly 75% of employees don’t like their jobs. They don’t work hard at them or care about their customers. The result is no surprise: companies with disengaged employees don’t do as well as firms with employees who are engaged. But what can you do if your staff members tune out? HR experts Debra Corey and Glenn Elliott offer a “rebel playbook” that shakes up the status quo. They include numerous “plays” – mini-case histories showing how companies with great engagement connect with employees. Corey and Elliott outline a 10-step “Engagement Bridge Model” as a strategy for turning things around. They urge you to address workspaces, employee well-being, remuneration, communication, meaning, leadership, management, “job design,” learning and recognition. And they tell you how. getAbstract recommends their methods to anyone who exercises organizational authority.

Take-Aways

  • Firms that engage their employees are more profitable than firms that do not.
  • Nearly three out of four employees experience disengagement at work.
  • Companies tout the importance of employee engagement, yet most do little to engage their employees.
