Today’s Workforce> How they think> why they think that

The main concern of today’s workforce is work life balance because it’s not only the
money we want. it’s the culture of a company we want. We want to be part of big
picture. We want a common area where we can share our opinion and thoughts.
As we can see Gallup is showing some results about employee engagement. Now the
first question is What is Gallup? Why I am considering their opinion here?
Gallup is a global analytics and advice firm that helps leaders and organizations solve
their most pressing problems.
They have a a huge database concentrating on employee engagement (where they
have 35 million respondents). Even fortune 500 hundred company use them to
work on employee engagement. Ex: Amazon, Intel, Microsoft, Walmart,
FedEx, Proctor & Gamble.
Again, Gallup is problem solving organization but why they are mostly focused on
employee engagement. What is it? Why it is necessary?
Employee engagement is a HR concept that describes the level of enthusiasm and
dedication an employee feels toward their job. Engaged employees care about their
work and about the performance of the company, and feel that their efforts make a
difference. An engaged employee may consider their well-being linked to their
performance, and thus instrumental to their company's success.

Merits
Lowering the absenteeism, better
performance, also turnover rate is lower
with engaged employee. Highest levels
of data security and confidentiality can
be maintained with them. Decision
making is also easier with motivated
employees because they are less likely
to put their self-interest over the
organization. Creative work is delivered
by them.
Demerits
Sharing valuable information with many
employees can term into greater risk as
the chances of information leaked are
more. Their productivity is
comparatively lower than the engaged
employee. They are more likely leave
the organization. Also, with them there
is higher risk of burnout.
We can see, according to Gallup only 33% employee is engaged. And over 16 years 7%
of employee engagement increased. The rate is very poor in this competitive market. If
you cannot make your employees engaged with the organization, survival cost of
organization will be increased.
But the good news is we can solve it. And it starts with you.

***what should you do to engage them primarily? The following question will help you
know their status. ***
