Investors in People (IIP) recently published an interesting piece of research that caught the eyes of Knowledge Infusion. We continually build Talent Management strategies for organizations that look at how the existing talent is feeling within an organization, how the outside world views an organization from an "employer of choice" standpoint and how the existing workforce is driving true business results.
The IIP study revealed some interesting highlights such as:
De-motivation is highest within larger companies with 39% of people
in organizations of 5,000 or more say that they are either not very or
not at all motivated compared to 30% in organizations of between 50 and
250 people.43% of those surveyed are considering taking action and leaving
their job in the next 12 months, with those that have been in their job
for one to two years most likely to want to do so (48%).The top three de-motivating factors for employees were:
unreasonable workload (18%), feeling underpaid (18%) and lack of clear
career path (17%)For those that have been in their role for one to two years, lack
of a clear career path (24%) was the most de-motivating factor, greater
than workload (17%) or pay (16%).
These figures were even lower (or more depressing) for the public sector. Even though these figures are from the UK, look for them to be similar or even greater in the United States.
Take a look at your overall talent management approach and what you are doing to drive your workforce. Are you letting them build their own career paths? Are you letting your workforce collaborate with each other to stay engaged?
