A recent study by the human capital services firm Towers Perrin found that ‘employee engagement has a direct impact on retaining employees’ and that employers must find ways to do more to inspire their workforces by recognizing their workers’ value. The study results are provided below:
- Half of the employees responding in the study who described themselves as ‘engaged’ said they had no plans to leave their organizations (compared to 15 percent of the group who described themselves as ‘disengaged’ and about a third of the general workforce)
- Fewer than 5 percent of the engaged workers reported that they were actively seeking other jobs, compared to more than 25 percent of the disengaged workers.
