Kudos to Blessing White’s State of Engagement 2008 Report

August 7, 2008 by David Zinger 2 Comments

Blessing White has done an exceptional job of reporting on the State of Engagement 2008.

Here are a few tidbits from the Blessing White State of Engagement  2008 – North America Report:

  • Fewer than 1 in 3 employees is fully engaged.
  • 19% are disengaged.
  • 85% of engaged employees plan to stay with their employer and focus on their contributions.
  • Opportunities to use talent and career development and training heighten work satisfaction.
  • Only about half of employees trust their senior leadership while about 75% trust their manager.
  • Bad managers are the third most common reason people leave their employer.

The comprehensive report also includes 10 tips to engage your team, including:

  • Hire engage-able team members.
  • Earn trust every day.
  • Remember that feedback is a gift.

    David, agreed! BlessingWhite issued a very comprehensive report with excellent advice to better engage teams. Three points I particularly appreciated and highlighted in my blog were:

    1) “Align, align, align.” In the most successful organization, “everyone understands the bigger picture and how they can contribute to the organization’s success.” BlessingWhite suggests starting at the top by aligning the executive team and then communicating “clearly and tirelessly.”

    2) “Pay attention to culture” – to build a meaningful culture and then invest in the managers to sustain it. Critically, “make sure that systems and processes work in favor of – and not in contradiction to – the aspired culture.”

    3) “Develop a measurement strategy that provides actionable insights.”

    Overall, three very good tips that will certainly improve employee engagement.

    People are often hesitant to work with a business coach because they are not sure what to expect. Well, at the most basic level, the coach is there for support. A coach never tells you what to do. They just prompt and encourage.
