1, 2, 3… Engage!!!
According to a recent 2007 Global Workforce Study by Towers Perrin, Stamford, Connecticut, a staggering 79% employees consider themselves not engaged in their work. And three quarters said their management doesn’t do enough to help them fully engage and contribute to their companies’ success.
These results are based on a survey of almost 90,000 workers in 18 countries in May and June of 207.
“It’s impossible to overstate the importance of an engaged workforce on a company’s bottom line.”, Julie Gebauer says, as managing director and leader of Towers Perrin workforce effectiveness consulting practice.
