Last year, we were invited to speak about the importance of employee engagement on Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®. During our time on the show, we discussed changing the way organizations look at employee engagement, as well as bringing solutions to the problems of employee disengagement.
The Side Effects of Employee Disengagement
The side effects of employee disengagement can be devastating to your company. A disengaged workforce is more prone to safety incidents, lower quality work, mistakes, and turnover of customers and employees. A recent Gallup study estimated that a disengaged workforce is costing America $450 Billion a year.
Jeff Ross, President and CFO of C.A Short Company, profiled disengaged employees describing them as:

- Disenchanted by work
- Arriving late to work
- Not collaborative and unwilling to work with other people
- Less productive
- Seem to be overall displeased with work
