Workplace Culture

Employee Engagement Is Organizational Health. When Was Your Last Check-Up?

Improving Workplace Culture grows your business’s bottom line

As an employer, if you aren’t both paying attention and taking decisive action to improve employee engagement, you shouldn’t wonder why productivity and that competitive edge seem beyond your grasp.

A lack of employee engagement can lead to a toxic work environment. Disengaged workers feel unmotivated, resentful and sometimes even angry.

The Pain Points you can expect are:

1. High Turnover Rate

When employees feel disengaged and unhappy with their work environment, they are more likely to leave the company. This can result in a high turnover rate, which can be expensive and time-consuming for the business. The cost of replacing an employee can range from 50-200% of their annual salary, and the process of hiring and training new employees takes valuable time away from other important tasks.

2. Decreased Productivity

Disengaged employees are less likely to be productive and motivated in their work. When employees are not invested in their work, they are more likely to take longer breaks, miss deadlines, and produce lower-quality work. This can lead to decreased productivity, which can impact the overall success of the business.

3. Negative Reputation

A toxic work culture can quickly spread through word of mouth, leading to a negative reputation for your company. This can make it more difficult to attract top talent and retain existing employees. A negative reputation can also negatively impact your company’s brand and overall success

4. Increased Stress and Burnout

A toxic work culture can increase stress levels and lead to burnout among employees. When employees are subjected to a negative and stressful work environment, they are more likely to experience physical and mental health problems. This can result in increased absenteeism, decreased productivity, and decreased job satisfaction.

5. Workplace Harassment/Hostile Work Environment

Disengaged employees can be more likely to engagein the typesof negative behaviors (such as bullying, discrimination, and harassment) that lead to a toxic workplace. Additionally, a lack of motivation and commitment may result in a failure to report or intervene in instances of harassment, allowing the problem to persist and potentially escalate. By creating a workplace that engages and empowers employees, organizations can help to reduce the risk of harassment and promote a positive, safe, and productive work environment
