Hays is rather a reputable research company and they recently published the results of an 11-year project that proved just that - an incredible leap in performance-related profit from engaged workforces. So no, this isn't a joke.
Here's the article with all the facts;
Times are changing, but engineering is slow to make hay while the sun shines, clutching with traditional fervour to old paradigms that don't work while chastising successive governments for not pulling them out of the mud. Despite the vaunted figure of £300+billion lost to disengagement in the UK, old habits do die hard.
Waiting for other people to help out never made anyone successful - belief makes you successful, a will to give and learn as you grow, and although it has to be said that ruthless fearmongers tend to get ahead in life, you either belong to that clan or you don't. They're a band of their own drumbeats - the rest of us prefer to steer clear.
Those kinds of people won't be interested in engagement anyway, as the whole concept is built around empathy, respect and trust. Fortunately, the barometer is swinging round just in time to potentially save the world from slurries of its own making, and humanity has a chance to set new paradigms in place that will make the difference between holistic success and abject failure.
Being one of the good guys isn't just a trend waiting to catch on, it means an essential turn of fortunes not only seeing enormous upturns in profitability, but presenting opportunities to put some of that gain back into the system where it belongs. Greed is becoming an increasingly distasteful sin and the companies building greatness into their empires right now are not the ones whose cats are fattest, but those putting their people first.
Nature presents a straight choice between growth and greenery, or sludge and stagnation. In the time spent bleating about absence of change, change will happen regardless - things only decay faster without remedial address. But if you put the furry ball of fears aside and strategise for a thriving culture, you might worry about poking dragons but you'll soon find yourself riding the winds of change towards a future that's bright for everyone, that everyone wants to be part of.
There's just no getting away from the facts. In the USA, losses to disengagement are even higher than in the UK... as detailed here:
