The State of Employee Engagement in the Workplace
Research shows that only 34% of employees are engaged, 54% are disengaged,
and 13% are actively disengaged at work.
Why Is Employee Engagement Important?
Research shows that employee engagement is strongly connected to an organization’s financial success driving productivity, profitability, and customer engagement. Companies with a highly-engaged workforce are more financially successful, attract better employees, increase productivity/work quality, and retain top talent.
Employee Engagement Statistics
These stats show how the engagement of employees is a difference-maker for SMBs when attracting, developing, recruiting, and retaining top talent.
- A Gallup report reviewed the ‘State of the American Workplace’. It found that businesses with engaged employees had 41% less absenteeism and reported at least a 17% increase in worker productivity [1].
- SMB owners are starting to appreciate the value of engagement. A study of failing U.S. businesses discovered that almost 83% of employers consider sourcing and retaining employees their top priority [2].
- A Leadership Guide to Empathy revealed that 94% of employees working for SMBs said they would stay longer with companies that invested in career development. Moreover, 82% of workers would consider leaving their jobs for a more empathetic enterprise.
- The same report found that 78% of employees are happy to work longer hours for a more empathetic SMB owner. In addition, 85% of employees stated that empathy results from leadership strategies that improve diversity and inclusion [3].
- The author of Keeping the People suggests 89% of bosses still believe employees quit for jobs that offer more money. But, in reality, they leave to join companies that provide better cultural experiences. Almost nine out of ten (86%) employees under 40 would consider a pay cut to stay working for a company with a great organizational culture [4].
