“Do You Want To Quit?” “Do You Know Why You Feel Left Out Of the Picture?”
So now the latest survey from Regus, a workplace supplier, and conducted by Marketing UK, has indicated that 40% of professional employees want to quit their jobs. The Department of Labor says productivity is dropping. With unemployment at 9%, you have to ask the question, why?
The answer is simple. Silence. That is what employees are feeling and it is all about what they are not hearing. Once again the issue of good communication has come to the fore and once again managers and leaders are failing in involving employees and simply talking to them about what is going on.
Ambiguity and lack of congruence, what is said and what is happening, is the number one killer of motivation, loyalty and inspiration to do more and better. Employees need the people they work for to be:
* Clear
* Nonambiguous
* Constant
* Honest and
* Forthright
Pulling your managers into a room for a half day or full day to really drill down on this skill and how to hit all five of the points listed could be the best productivity activity you have done in a long time.
Find a way to increase communication by:
* putting out the values and vision of where we are going,
* what it will take to get there
* how to communicate that all the time
