The top performing American companies are showing every other company how it's done, but not all of them are listening. A company's culture is the Undiscovered Country for many CEOs, who are invariably trying to squeeze more productivity out of their work force but without doing anything radically different than before.
This, of course, is a short cut to disaster, since the latest Gallup results show that more than 70% of American workers are disengaged from their work. Therefore, those CEOs who try the same old thing over and over again are depending on employees who largely don't care about their job and are looking for a new place to work to increase their productivity with no additional motivation. And those disengaged employees are often ruining the workplace environment for the employees who do care.
Retention problems, anyone?
Below is a link to a brilliantly insightful piece by the CEO of a highly successful firm that has finally seen its hard work pay off; you can bet their employees are not only engaged in their work, but are glad to have their jobs and will fight to keep them.You can also bet that their bottom line reflects this.
