In addition to the 20% increase in employees that are both engaged and committed, there was also a decrease in the number of employees intending to leave their organisation. Results show that from our last global survey, the percentage of employees wanting to leave their respective organisations has fallen by 0.5%.
As you would furthermore expect, the percentage of employees that were not engaged and committed has also decreased. In total, the results show that overall there was a fall of around 6% in the number of employees not engaged and committed.
Generally speaking, the overall analysis of the data also revealed that over the last 12 months or so employees are becoming more positive about their work. Of the 17 key HR themes that we measured in our global survey, we witnessed increases of varying degrees in each theme. Although the changes varied from region to region, such general increases are certainly cause for celebration by employers and emlpoyees across the world.
