They don’t feel valued by their organization or their manager;
They don’t feel like they belong;
They don’t see opportunities for development, or

NEW WEBINAR – The Great Engagement: Three Powerful Practices
Posted on February 14, 2022 by kozmun
A significant and current problem businesses need to resolve is employee disengagement.
Prior to the pandemic, Research showed that only 25% of employees were actively engaged, leaving 75 % less than fully engaged.
And now, because of the pandemic, people have had lots of time to think and are taking the opportunity to reevaluate their life.
Some are acknowledging their discontent and acting on their disengagement, by leaving unfulfilling jobs, in great numbers. This has become known as The Great Resignation.
Employee disengagement is a very real factor in employee discontent and it impacts your bottom line!
Disengagement costs the North American business economy over $350 billion per year in lost productivity.
The Great Engagement urgently calls organizations to actively engage employees so they feel better connected and valued for their contributions to the overall business success and to counteract the associated cost factors that impact the bottom line.
If you want to improve your organization’s employee engagement join Kathleen Ozmun, Executive and Team Coach and Change Consultant, and Marielle Gauthier, Executive and Leadership Coach, for a free one-hour webinar called The Great Engagement: Three Powerful Practices.
In the webinar, participants will:

“Appreciate everything your associates do for the business. Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of praise. They’re absolutely free and worth a fortune.” – Sam Walton
The Great Engagement is a call to action to praise more often.
Do you praise your employees easily, sincerely and often?
If not, you may be losing out on an opportunity to trigger a dopamine release which can then boost innovative thinking and creative problem-solving.
Tips to Take Action
Catch someone doing something well and praise them promptly.
Consider how each employee would like to be praised – publicly, privately, in person, by email, on social media, etc.

“By not understanding what their employees are running from, and what they might gravitate to, company leaders are putting their very businesses at risk.” McKinsey & Company
The Great Engagement is a call to action to reduce this risk of losing employees.
Do you know what your employees are running from? What might they gravitate towards? Is your business at risk of losing employees?
As a leader you may think you know the answers but, according to McKinsey & Company, managers and employees do not agree on what’s the most important factors for staying at an organization.
The top three factors employees cited as reasons for quitting were that they didn’t feel:
Valued by their organizations (54 percent) or
Valued by their managers (52 percent) or
A sense of belonging at work (51 percent).
Tips to Take Action
As an organization, by understanding the reasons why employees are leaving or would even consider leaving, you can take effective actions to not only retain but also attract potential employees.
How do you as a leader show you value your employees?
What does the organization do in terms of making people feel they belong and are valued?
Is your organization struggling with effectively engaging employees?

Rewards and Recognition – Low Cost and High Impact for Boosting Engagement

“You never know when a moment and a few sincere words can have an impact on a life.” – Zig Ziglar
The Great Engagement is a call to action to expand your approach to more effectively engage your employees.
Research from Gallup suggests that rewards and recognition, with its low cost and high impact, might be one of the most underutilized tools that managers have for boosting engagement.
Do you regularly show appreciation to your staff members?
If not, you could be losing an opportunity to provide encouragement and bolster engagement.
