While the recession grabs headlines and international competition dominates discussions, there’s something else killing businesses every day. It’s hard to spot, silent and insidious. It doesn’t show up on balance sheets or on budgets as a line item, but it’s sapping profits and productivity from companies of all types and sizes. It’s the silent business killer. It’s employee disengagement.
Good employees don’t just get the job done. They get the job done right. In fact, the best employees do more than what their job minimally requires. They take care of the little extras. Their insights spur innovations and positive changes. A company is only as good as its employees. It’s always been that way and it isn’t going to change any time soon.
