Do your employees have a commitment problem?
We found this interesting: The Global Employee Commitment Study shows that successful companies have different employee-commitment profiles than less-successful organizations.
As part of the study, researchers classified employees into the following three categories:
Ambassadors. Employees who are fully committed to their companies and their work.
Company-oriented. People who are more dedicated to their employers than to their work or career.
Career-oriented. Individuals who place their careers over company needs.
Disengaged workers. Employees who are not committed to their companies or careers.
Top-performing companies proved to have a significantly higher percentage of “Ambassadors” (45 percent) than did poorer performing companies (36 percent). They also had fewer “Career-oriented” employees (14 percent as opposed to 24 percent at poorer performing firms) and fewer “Disengaged” employees (26 percent as opposed to 30 percent).
