Employee Engagement - Who's Sinking Your Boat?

Welcome aboard! At long last, the remake of our viral hit, 'Who's Sinking Your Boat?'.
When we launched our original in 2013, Gallup claimed that approximately 7 out of 10 employees are disengaged. In spite of billions being spent on engagement initiatives, we have only managed minor gains. As in the original, this remake will define engagement and make a business case for engagement BUT will also provide a 'call to action' by introducing 8 key focus areas organizations need to focus on to keep employees 'afloat'.

[gladstonelesliesamuel]

Very good information. It is true that there is a significant difference between engagement and satisfaction. An engaged employee is always productive despite the challenges and failures.

Thought provoking stuff! Especially the part showing that based on research, only 2% of 44 year olds are creative, vs 98% of 5 year-olds are creative. I’m sure glad that a group of 5 year-olds clearly made this video, and not a bunch of uncreative Thought Leaders who don’t even know how to row properly

[brenchyalowicois]

thought you might like to know this is in a module in my leadership class

When your employers turn into dictators they shouldn't expect anything less than total disengagement. You reap what you sow. Our boat is the Tintanic II and has already crashed into an iceberg and is sinking fast.

What is the difference between successful and unsuccessful practice of employee involvement and participation?

[-Minds]

great video! do you have a Spanish version?

[iron]

So what should be done to those who are trying to sink the boat? By the way I really enjoy the video.
