Research shows that since 2000 less than one third of employees are engaged in their jobs in any given year.
So what do managers need to focus on and improve to change the situation?

1. Reliable and meaningful communication
2. Performance management beyond annual appraisals
3. A focus on strengths over weaknesses
Action: Which of these three areas do your employees lack from you the most? What one thing can do you to change this?
