E Learning Solutions for Increasing Employee Engagement
Discover how e learning services can help increase employee engagement at your organisation.
Employee engagement in the UK is amongst the lowest in Europe according to annual surveys by the Gallup Organisation, seriously impacting the UK's international competitiveness.
The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has told the Government that engaging better with employees is the biggest challenge facing employers and argues that UK employee engagement remains low because employers are focusing on the wrong things.
The Rules of Engagement white paper shows that by far the biggest factor determining engagement is the employee's relationship with their immediate manager, reflected in the day-to-day workplace atmosphere.
Despite this, less than 20% of managers have received awareness and skills training in engagement and how to bring out the best in their people.
Disengaged workers impose an intolerable financial penalty on British businesses as they can inhibit change, create an unhealthy working climate and prevent customer advocacy. The vast majority of employers who have a problem are aware of it; they just don't know how to solve it.
