Its importance in the workplace cannot be understated, and we have the statistics to prove it! <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/employee-engagement-guide\/\">Employee engagement<\/a> can be the defining factor between a well-oiled, and by extension, business, or a company that is stagnant, simply treading water and achieving the bare minimum work required.\n\nTherefore, to experience growth for your business, the following employee engagement statistics are important to understand. They can be tools to ensure that the levels of employee engagement in your workplace are considered in every process, to ensure you apply various tactics with the goal of engaged employees in mind.\n\nUnderstanding the trends around employee engagement will help you to create a positive workplace.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Understanding-Employee-Engagement@2x\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3593\" height=\"981\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Understanding-Employee-Engagement@2x-1024x981.png\" width=\"1024\"\/>\n\nIn this article, we will dive into the statistics, along with some ways to ensure you have highly engaged employees who produce quality work. The <strong>way your employees feel<\/strong> and your <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/employee-experience-guide\/\">overall employee experience<\/a> have a direct correlation to the success of your business.\n\nDisengaged employees will not provide quality work and make it much harder for your company to grow. Let&#8217;s look at how you can avoid this and keep your people engaged.\n<h2 id=\"understanding-employee-engagement\">Understanding employee engagement<\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Employee-Engagement-InTheWorkplace@2x\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3594\" height=\"981\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Employee-Engagement-InTheWorkplace@2x-1024x981.png\" width=\"1024\"\/>\n\nThe modern business environment is fast-changing, and this can make it hard to retain talent. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trinet.com\/insights\/employee-turnover-infographic\/\">New research<\/a> on more than 600 medium-sized businesses found that 63.3% of companies have a more challenging time retaining employees than hiring them. So how does your company deal with the fact that more than a third of workers are actively and continually looking for a new position?\n\nThe key is an <strong>effective employee engagement strategy<\/strong>. Employee engagement moves beyond ensuring you have <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/wellness-at-work\/\">happy employees<\/a>; they also have to be <strong>engaged<\/strong> with the work that they do in their roles. The statistics below give us a look at the current state of engagement in the workforce, and you can consider them, along with the helpful <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/\">technological tools to ensure employee engagement in your workplace<\/a>.\n\n<h2 id=\"statistics-that-show-the-importance-of-employee-engagement-in-the-workplace\">Statistics that show the importance of employee engagement in the workplace<\/h2>\nEngaged employees work harder to achieve your company&#8217;s goals. They go the extra mile and are directly linked to how high your chances of success will be.\n\nThis first batch of employee engagement statistics demonstrates why employee engagement should be one of the top priorities for your business:\n<ul>\n<li>Employee engagement increases productivity to the tune of <a href=\"https:\/\/haiilo.com\/blog\/what-is-the-true-cost-of-poor-employee-communication\/\">21% higher profits per year<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Highly engaged teams experience <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/236366\/right-culture-not-employee-satisfaction.aspx\">41% fewer absentees<\/a><\/li>\n<li>On the other hand, low employee engagement costs businesses $5000 on average for new hires<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThese statistics gives us a glimpse into why employee engagement is vital, but it&#8217;s only the tip of the iceberg. Highly engaged employees feel more connected to your business, which means they are working harder at creating positive outcomes.\n\nThe employee experience is also linked to the way peers and customers view your company. Disengaged employees cost companies far more than money, and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/employee-value-proposition-evp\/\">poor word-of-mouth can spread<\/a>. The rumblings of a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/7-signs-of-a-toxic-workplace-culture\/\">poor company culture<\/a> can harm the potential of your business, and new prospects will assume a negative work life, preventing them from considering you as an option.\n<h2 id=\"the-employee-engagement-statistics-in-2020-you-need-to-know\">The employee engagement statistics in 2020 you need to know<\/h2>\nAccording to Gallup&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/349484\/state-of-the-global-workplace.aspx\">State of the Global Workplace<\/a>, 85% of employees feel disengaged in the workplace. This shockingly small number gives you some insight into how many employees view their workplace negatively, are looking for a position elsewhere or perform the bare minimum to get through the workday.\n\nA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hays.com\/press-releases\">2017 study<\/a> sings a similar song about the importance of keeping people engaged, by stating that 81% of employees would leave their jobs for the right offer, and not even due to money! 74% of Gen Z employees say they would take a pay cut if it meant scoring their ideal position.\n\nEmployees are also more likely to actively job search if their co-workers are as well, which speaks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/leaders-guide-company-culture\/\">importance of company culture<\/a> to avoid a domino effect of staffing losses. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conference-board.org\/topics\/dna-of-engagement\">study on workplace engagement<\/a> found that employees who are not engaged can cost around $450-550 billion each year. Low engagement means less responsibility, poor behaviour, a lack of motivation, and a drain on the overall productivity of the team and company.\n\nThe encouragement of personal agency with a range of technology and tools to monitor personal engagement is one way to prevent this situation. The goal is to connect employees to organisational missions, give them a clear career path and provide recognition. It is also important to encourage collaboration for those who need to be engaged.\n<h3 id=\"1-in-3-employees-are-distrustful-of-their-employers\">1 in 3 employees are distrustful of their employers<\/h3>\nAs we&#8217;ve discussed above, employee engagement offers tangible returns, like increased profits, which go over and above <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/employee-wellbeing-survey-questions-template\/\">employee well-being<\/a>. This very <strong>real impact on your business <\/strong>means it is a crucial part of your strategy.\n\nAccording to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/236927\/employee-engagement-drives-growth.aspx\">Gallup&#8217;s meta-analysis<\/a>, companies with a highly engaged workforce score indisputably higher across the board with profitability and productivity. This includes ensuring employees have the best knowledge and tools while being aware of what is expected of them, with the full support for their professional development. A big part of ensuring this is effective communication. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/marcel-schwantes\/survey-91-percent-of-1000-employees-say-their-boss.html\">91% of employees<\/a> say that their management teams lack communication skills with 1 in 3 employees claiming that they do not actually trust their employers.\n<h3 id=\"around-1-in-3-workers-claim-boredom-is-their-reason-to-leave\">Around 1 in 3 workers claim boredom is their reason to leave<\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"2020Stats-YouNeedToKnow@2x\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3595\" height=\"8898\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/02\/2020Stats-YouNeedToKnow@2x.png\" width=\"3144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/02\/2020Stats-YouNeedToKnow@2x.png 3144w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/02\/2020Stats-YouNeedToKnow@2x-106x300.png 106w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/02\/2020Stats-YouNeedToKnow@2x-362x1024.png 362w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/02\/2020Stats-YouNeedToKnow@2x-768x2174.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/02\/2020Stats-YouNeedToKnow@2x-543x1536.png 543w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/02\/2020Stats-YouNeedToKnow@2x-724x2048.png 724w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/02\/2020Stats-YouNeedToKnow@2x-138x390.png 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3144px) 100vw, 3144px\" \/>\n\nIn this 2018 Korn Ferry Survey, a lack of job satisfaction is noted as the result of boredom.
