The People Factor

Here is a short piece on employee engagement based on Gallup (2023) report.

The People Factor
An under-leveraged opportunity

It’s a foregone conclusion that a fully engaged workforce is a major source of competitive advantage for an #organisation .

Unfortunately, only a small proportion of global #workforce is engaged. Gallup (2023) study puts it at 23%. (Incidentally, the figure is higher at 33% for the south Asian region).

From more than 43 million respondents and more than 5 million workgroups from 212 countries that forms the database of Gallup, only 57 organisations turned out to be what Gallup calls the ‘best-practice organisations’. That is, they are doing what needs to be done to maintain high levels of #engagement .
