90% of the UK workforce are disengaged.
This means lacking in motivation, enthusiasm, or commitment to their role. Of that figure, 14% are ‘actively disengaged’ – you may have heard the phenomenon ‘silent quitting’, they’re likely doing this or pulling in the wrong direction from your business.
Imagine your employees were these 10 people on a boat:
If these stats are true, you have 1 person at the front going for it, fully engaged and motivated to your mission/goals. Then those 8 in the middle aren’t necessarily a problem, but could be delivering more for your business. An engaged employee typically is over 20% more productive and profitable.
That one at the back? They’re going in the wrong direction. It’s not good for you, but it’s also not good for them. You’ll likely still achieve your goals, but it will be harder for them and you, plus how hard must it be for that person rowing the wrong way? Isn’t it your duty as an employer to help them? If that’s you in that boat, would it help to communicate where you’re at?
How many of your workforce are disengaged, 1? 10? 100? More?
