Research Works recently released a series of reports from the Partnership for Workplace Mental Health, a program of the American Psychiatric Foundation. Download them here.
Research Works found that about a quarter of all employees are “actively disengaged,” meaning they don’t care about about their jobs at all. These are the people who don’t make much of an effort to help a customer with a problem, or a colleague with an issue. Or do anything beyond the minimum required (or what they can get away with).
Twenty-five per cent! That’s an awful lot of employees just taking up space.
Culling information from a number of studies, the report found that about 20% of employees are “highly engaged” and about 55% are in the middle — meaning they work hard but don’t live and die by going to work every day.
The rest, about 25%, could be toxic to your company’s success.
How engaged are your employees? If you don’t know, it might be costing you money.
