If you don’t engage employees, you could be setting yourself up for trouble, such as:

Decreased productivity

Employees who are disengaged are less likely to put forth their best effort, resulting in lower productivity levels.

Higher turnover rates

Disengaged employees are more likely to seek opportunities elsewhere, leading to higher turnover rates. This turnover can be costly for organisations in terms of recruitment, training, and lost productivity.

Poor morale

When employees feel disengaged, morale tends to suffer. Low morale can contribute to a negative work environment, further exacerbating the disengagement issue.

Reduced innovation and creativity

This is a big one! Engaged employees are more likely to contribute new ideas and innovative solutions to problems. Without engagement, organisations may miss out on valuable insights and opportunities for improvement.

Negative customer experiences

Disengaged employees may provide subpar customer service, leading to dissatisfied customers and potential damage to the company’s reputation.

Bottom line, if you don’t really manage to engage employees, it can mean major repercussions for an organisation’s performance, culture, and revenue.

It’s crucial that managers, business owners and top level execs prioritise employee engagement.

The one thing you need to remember is this

A positive work environment helps drive success.
