Research shows what you already know: engaged employees are more productive, more loyal, and more profitable.

The folks at TINYPulse performed an in-depth study of employee engagement in 2019, and here are some of the top-line takeaways:

Employee loyalty is decreasing - 43% of workers would be willing to leave their companies for a 10% salary increase

Leadership teams lack self-awareness - While 39% of managers strongly agree that management within their organization is transparent, only 22% of employees feel the same way. `

Workers need better direction - Less than half of employees feel that their promotion and career path is clear to them.

Employees aren’t getting the recognition they deserve - Only a third of workers received recognition the last time they went the extra mile at work.

Employees care deeply about their coworkers - 91% of people rate their coworkers positively, and yet just 9% of people think their average coworker is very happy. `

Most cultures are decidedly mediocre - Less than one-third of people believe they have a strong culture. `

The #1 factor that predicts performance is the level of support provided by managers.
