Did you know that 80% of American’s hate their jobs?  Studies also report that when the economy improves, as many as 50% of Americans will start looking for new jobs.  It’s no wonder that companies are concerned about Employee Engagement.  These employees are unengaged at best and actively disengaged at worst.  This turnover will cost companies millions of dollars.  While many companies will look to start doing in the way of policies, procedures, and incentives, the savvy company will instead look at what to stop doing. Most employees don’t leave bad jobs, they leave bad environments.  They get to the point where they think “you can’t pay me enough to stay here.” All workplaces have a certain amount of “garbage” that people have to manage, and people have the responsibility to learn how to deal with the GarbageFactor™.  Managers have the responsibility to create an environment where the GarbageFactor™ levels are as low as possible.  It is management and leadership that determine the environment that people work in. What types of environments (each team is different) are your leaders creating?  When organization-wide Employee Engagement surveys are done, a company has data from a global perspective on the organization.  What is needed to effect change is a micro-level look at what is raising the GarbageFactor™.  Is it:

  • Managers who are inexperienced and thus unskilled in leadership?
  • Managers who only provide feedback when it is negative?
  • Managers who are inefficient and thus pass the resulting problems to employees?
  • Managers who have not developed communication skills?
  • Managers who have too many (or too few) rules?

For over 15 years, Marian has been collecting feedback like this from employees.  It is the basis for both her programs and her upcoming book, The GarbageFactor™: The Dirty Truth about Employee Engagement.  By bringing Marian to your teams, you start the process of eliminating the GarbageFactor™ first by awareness, then by action.  Doing so puts your organization on the path to lower turnover, improved productivity, and a better bottom line.  Contact Marian’s office today to discuss your upcoming event or training opportunity.
