Employee Engagement Survey

Did you know that in the Average Australian workplace that:

How does Australia do in terms of employee engagement

  • 24% of workers are Engaged; motivated employees and likely to exert extra or discretionary effort.
  • 60% of workers are Disengaged; unmotivated staff and unlikely to exert extra effort.
  • 16% of workers are Actively Disengaged; truly unhappy and unproductive employees.

What this means: in the average Australian workplace, over 75% of the workforce is either disengaged or actively disengaged. This means that too few of your workers are engaged and you are not getting the most out of your employees.

  • 67% of the workers are Engaged;
  • 26% of the workers are Disengaged;
  • 7% of the workers are Actively Disengaged.

This means that by improving employee engagement from average to world’s best practice, you will increase your productivity by 21% and increase your profitability by 22%
