As goes the economy, so goes employee engagement it seems, which is not good news for employers. Survey results from Quantum Workplace show 66% of employers saw decreases in employee engagement between 2007 and 2008.
“Employee engagement is measured by the ability and willingness of individuals to exert extra effort for the benefit of the company, their tendency to speak highly of the organization and their intent to stay,” says Greg Harris, president of Quantum Workplace.
