Employee Disengagement

Our research shows that only 24% of people in organizations can link what they do on a daily basis to the key results their organizations must deliver to remain viable. Furthermore, 74% percent of business leaders feel that the key results their organizations need to achieve are not clearly understood nor actively pursued throughout the organization. When people cannot make the tie between performing their daily work and advancing the cause of the organization, they become less invested in the organization’s purpose and the accountability system begins to break down at every level.

What is the key to any successful employee engagement effort? The Key is Personal Engagement; which begins by clarifying the results you need to achieve as a team or organization and then making the case for “Why” people should sign up, buy in, and take accountability for getting it done. In the end, it’s about engaging hearts and minds so that people want to take accountability and Own It.

It’s worth the extra effort that you will need to invest to capture the hearts and minds of your peers, and those you are leading. By engaging the heart and creating a deep sense of personal accountability for the success of the team or organization, you engage the most vital part of a person’s conviction to get things done. By engaging the mind, you ignite their most creative thinking, as they devise solutions that may never have occurred to you or them.

The power of gaining people’s hearts and minds in getting things done may seem obvious, but the price you pay when they only apply their hands and feet to a task can be enormous. People who invest their hearts and minds and take accountability, go beyond the basic requirements of their jobs, often make things happen in ways that surpass our wildest expectations.
