Gallup’s Post

Younger generations show ‘dramatic decline’ in engagement, Gallup says - via HR Dive -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Talent experts have been urging employers to shift their thinking on engagement since it began declining a few years ago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://lnkd.in/eBMM2-tb

#Gallup and many others have shared for decades that we have an employee engagement epidemic. Year after year the data comes in with less-than-exciting news. But what's being done about it? And what actual effect is that having on the problem? Although some employees are still fulfilling their job responsibilities, they're not exerting that enthusiasm or discretionary effort in the work that they do. In other words, the time they are putting into their work comes without investing their energy or passion. This behavior shouldn't be hastily labeled as laziness, either. So many employees are more than talented. Gen Z workers, for example, are highly skilled and tech-savvy. They are also more diverse in so many ways than previous generations. Hearing candid feedback from this younger generation, and what will soon make up the overwhelming majority of the global workforce, would be valuable beyond comparison. Quoting dialogue between Peter Gibbons and Bob Porter in the cult classic Office Space, you can be assured that you would hear something like this: Peter: "The thing is, Bob--it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care." Bob (with a great 'labeling' approach, I may add): "Don't...don't care?" Peter: "It's a problem of motivation, alright?" Little did the producers of Office Space know (or maybe like the producers of the Simpsons, they did??) how true that statement would be today. Pro tip: If you want to get the best out of your employees, retain them, develop them into even more valuable assets and so much more...learn what motivates them! If you get more of what motivates them into their work, they will stay with you a long time (as higher producers, no less), and maybe even indefinitely. #employeeengagement #employeeretention #employeeexperience Adrian Gostick Tricia Drake, MBA Kimberly Jones Alexander Mike Wilson Platte Clark Nate Randle Gerald Cook Douglas Cox Anthony Iannarino

In 2023 Gallup stated that almost 90% of Employees in the UK were not engaged, with many actively looking to leave their Role! How Engaged are your Employees?

According to Gallup's most recent research, Employee Engagement is low. Just 33% of employees were engaged at their jobs in 2023, amounting to $1.9 trillion in lost productivity.  Do you wonder why? Hint: It has to do with the compelling and measurable benefits of #workfromhome and the toxic impact of the recent #returntooffice push. Read on: https://lnkd.in/gA5hDuKa

Startling figures on low employee engagement scores across Europe! It is time to move beyond barbeques and ice-cream. Actually, keep the ice-cream, but here are three strategies: Strengths-based Development: Align the work that people do to their natural talents (tool that helps - Gallup CliftonStrengths). Monthly 1:1 Career Conversations: Regular check-ins ensure employees feel heard, valued, and can see their path forward. Talent Mobility: Encourage internal movement and involve folks in projects outside of their area of expertise e.g. HRBP supporting Marketing. Each of the above are research backed and shown to work. Sound easy? Nothing is easy without leadership buy-in. If engagement is a genuine priority, give it proper attention. If you value other strategies, would love to hear? #Leadership #EmployeeEngagement #HR #TalentDevelopment #LeadershipCoaching #TeamBuilding #StrengthsBasedDevelopment

Almost two thirds of Aussie workers don't feel that their relationship with their employer is appreciative, that's a significant amount who aren't getting the support and recognition they need. Our latest research, The Workplace Engagement Index (see it here: rg.co/wei), uncovers some key links between recognition, appreciation, productivity and retention, including: 🔶 One in four employees say they rarely or never feel appreciated or recognised. 🔶 35% cite lack of recognition as a reason why they're looking for another job, sitting in the top three reasons, behind being overworked and poor pay. 🔶 Recognition was in the top three drivers of productivity, with one in three saying receiving recognition and rewards makes them feel more productive at work.
