Engagement
The only way to attract and retain talent is to keep employees engaged. This is easier said than done. According to Gallup, only 20-34% of worker in the US and Canada feel engaged, and disengagement costs around 18% of their annual salary in terms of lost productivity. And replacing disengaged workers requires one-half to two times the employee’s annual salary. To cure this malignant malady, I propose a four-part PILL: ensure there is an engaging Purpose; make the tasks of jobs Interesting; offer plenty of Learning opportunities; and nurture Loyalty by making employees feel part of a caring community.
