Is your workforce engaged? Productive? Managing and measuring workforce effectiveness shouldn't be rocket science, yet it's a frequent topic of concern for human capital professionals.
A recent Gartner study looked at it this way:
Workforce effectiveness is where ambition meets execution, and it fuels other high-ranking business expectations, such as creating new products and services, managing change initiatives and increasing the use of information and analytics. When we look at workforce effectiveness, the highest impact will come from examining and balancing the work across people, teams, organizations and business entities. "Same old, same old" will not be the answer. Rethinking will be."
Engagement levels are critical to this "re-thinking" process. According to recent research backed up by U.S. Department of Labor statistics, "four out of 10 of today's employees feel disconnected from their employers, and a quarter show up at work "just for the paycheck." Only one-third of the employees surveyed viewed their management as strong leaders. "
