Let's face it, nobody likes going to a job they hate. But disengaged employees aren't just unhappy - they're costing UK businesses a whopping £340 billion each year in lost productivity and sky-high recruitment costs! They’re less productive, less motivated, and certainly won’t go the extra mile.  

 

So, how bad is the disengagement problem? 

Pretty bad, actually. Only 11% of UK employees are fully engaged at work, with the vast majority just going through the motions and passively disengaged, costing their company an average of £6,480 a year! Ouch! 

But this can be changed. 

To do it, all you need is honest feedback from those disengaged staff. They know why they aren’t engaged. But let's be real, getting people to be honest can be tough. People worry about the repercussions of being honest.  

There are lots of survey and feedback tools but, just because they say they are anonymous, doesn’t mean they will win the trust of employees.
