Background
Employers take note: 22 million U.S. workers who are “extremely negative” or “actively disengaged” are costing the U.S. economy $250 - $300 BILLION in lost productivity!
If you don't think this is a problem at your organization, consider some more revealing facts.
• A survey reveals that 90% of workers say they want their leaders to notice their efforts before they will feel totally committed.
• Of 20 million workers who had just left an employer, the supervisor's behavior was the main reason people quit.
• Earnings and benefits have a 2% impact on job satisfaction, while job quality and workplace support have a combined 70%!
Conversely, “engaged” workplaces are 50% more likely to have lower turnover…56% more likely to have higher-than-average customer loyalty…and 27% more likely to report higher profitability.
So the question is: how can you help your employees become more engaged? What can you do to improve the atmosphere of your workplace? How can you compete with bigger businesses that offer more money, more perks, or more opportunities for promotion? The answer is: Implement an effective Employee Recognition Program.
That's where we can help. AHI has teamed up with recognition specialist and expert Ken Thelen to present a 90-minute audio conference titled:
Employee Recognition: What's Working & What's Not
Originally Presented On:
