Employee Engagement
Only 9% of employees are engaged when not focused on strengths. But, engagement soars 73% when focus is on strengths
-Strengths based Leadership – Rath and Conchie
"It goes in circles: When people are more engaged, their companies do better, and those companies have room to add more people. When employees are not engaged or are actively disengaged, their companies don't do as well, they don't hire new workers, and they may even lay off the workers they have. But when the ratio between engaged employees and actively disengaged employees improves, the whole company improves. That, in turn, can improve whole economies.“
- Sangeeta Agrawal, Gallup workplace research manager
What if jobseekers put their strengths on their resumes? …and employers purposefully placed people in work situations
that played to their strengths?
