Want to Improve Engagement? Focus on Employee Expectations
When it comes to implementing a successful engagement strategy, HR teams can’t afford to ignore employee expectations. Yet, research suggests that too many organizations forget or overlook this pillar of engagement. For example: According to Gallup, 53% of employees don’t clearly understand how their role contributes to their company’s objectives. 48% of survey respondents told HR Dive they’ve left a job because it did not meet their expectations. And our own recent onboarding research found that 20% of employees think their employer’s original job listing was misleading. If you’re an HR professional or business leader, statistics like these should alarm you.
