Hope for the Future
In 2016, leadership has more tools at its disposal to predict and improve employee engagement. Perhaps in 2017, Gallup's survey will report a positive radical shift in how people show up to work.
- Jiordin Castle of Appirio writes that, in May of 2015, Fortune reported that a record 86% of employees were happy with their jobs - the highest percentage in over a decade.
- The Society for Human Resource Management reported that employees felt respected, trusted senior management, got along with their bosses, and felt motivated at work.
- But in a survey by com that reported similar positive findings, 73% of employees polled also said that they were "thinking about another job"; 43% even said they were more likely to consider a new job than they were a year earlier.
Castle writes, "While there are several factors for the uptick in employee happiness and attrition, the following predictions about the year ahead shed light on 3 things: What employees want, why they leave, and what you can do to get them to stick around." These predictions include:
- Employee engagement will become a key HR objective.
- Gamification will drive corporate goals and planning (at its core, gamification is the use of gaming components to accelerate learning ).
- The despised annual performance review will finally die.
- Peer-to-peer recognition will increase.
- A new attrition risk will emerge: low-commitment employees.
Gallup writers Annamarie Mann and Jim Harter sum up the employee engagement crises with this thought:
"Creating a culture of engagement requires more than completing an annual employee survey and then leaving managers on their own, hoping they will learn something from the survey results that will change their daily behavior. It requires a company to take a close look at the critical engagement elements that align with performance and with the organization#39;s human capital strategy. Managers and leaders should keep employee engagement top of mind - because every interaction with employees can have an impact on engagement and organizational performance."
Overall, studies have shown that in just about every business, the more attention given to employee engagement and employee well-being, the better the business performance.
"Business is more about emotions than most businesspeople care to admit." ~ Daniel Kahneman, Ph.D, Nobel Prize Laureate and Behavioral Economist
Are you working in a company where executive coaches provide leadership development to help leaders put strengths-based leadership into action? Does your organization provide executive coaching for leaders who need to build a company culture built on trust? Transformational leaders tap into their emotional intelligence and social intelligence skills to create a more fulfilling future.
One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself is "Am I a transformational leader who inspires individuals and organizations to achieve their highest potential, flourish at work, experience elevating energy and achieve levels of effectiveness difficult to attain otherwise?" Emotionally intelligent and socially intelligent organizations provide executive coaching to help leaders create a culture where respect and trust flourish.
Working with a seasoned executive coach and leadership consultant trained in emotional intelligence and incorporating assessments such as the Bar-On EQ-i 2.0, Hogan Lead, CPI 260 and Denison Culture Survey can help leaders nurture strengths-based conversations in the workplace. You can become an inspiring leader who models emotional intelligence and social intelligence, and who inspires people to become fully engaged with the vision, mission and strategy of your company or law firm.
