Employee engagement levels

 

  • According to Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace 2023 report, only 20% of UK employees feel engaged at work.

Why does this matter? Employee engagement is a key indicator of company culture. Engaged employees are more productive, more loyal, and less likely to leave their job.

 

Importance of work-life balance

 

  • The CIPD’s 2023 Good Work Index reported that 1 in 4 workers (25%) agree it is difficult to fulfil their commitments outside of work, because of their job.

A culture that respects work-life balance can reduce burnout and improve employee satisfaction. If you’re a business leader – consider flexible working arrangements and support systems to enhance your employees’ work-life balance.

 

Diversity and inclusion

 

  • A 2023 report by YouGov found that 66% of UK workers believe the acceptance and inclusion of employees from all backgrounds is important to them when searching for jobs.

Diversity and inclusion are crucial components of any positive company culture. A diverse workforce brings different perspectives and ideas, and better decision-making. Companies that prioritise diversity and inclusion will always attract top talent and improve employee morale.

 

Recognition and reward

 

  • 1 in 10 employees don’t feel “valued at all,” according to a January 2023 report by Workhuman.

Recognition and reward are key to employee motivation. A culture that celebrates achievements and values contributions can boost morale and retention. Business leaders should implement effective recognition programs to acknowledge employee efforts.

 

Career development opportunities

 

  • The 2023 LinkedIn Workforce Learning Report found that only 14% of organisations encourage their workers to build a career development plan.

Providing career development opportunities is essential for retaining talent. A culture that supports continuous learning and growth can attract ambitious professionals and reduces turnover.

 

Trust in leadership

 

  • A 2023 Edelman Trust Barometer survey revealed that only 38% of UK employees trust their senior leadership.

Trust in leadership is a cornerstone of a positive company culture. When employees trust their leaders, they are more likely to be engaged and committed. Business leaders should work on building transparent and trustworthy relationships with their teams.

 

Employee wellbeing

 

  • The 2022 Workplace Wellbeing Index by Mind UK found that 57% of employees have experienced poor mental health while working for their current employer.

Your employee’s mental health should be treated just as importantly as their physical health. Everyone experiences mental health concerns to some degree – in family life, relationships, workplaces, and communities. It impacts all of us.

 

Workplace transparency

 

  • 86% of leaders surveyed in Deloitte’s 2024 Global Human Capital Trends research say that the more transparent the organisation is, the greater the workforce trust.

Employees who understand the rationale behind decisions are more likely to support and contribute to company goals.

 

Employee voice

 

  • One in four (25%) UK employees feel voiceless in their organisation and that their employers don’t act on feedback from staff.

Today’s top-performing businesses all have the same thing in common, their employees feel able to talk about anything – from the big things to the little things.

 

Community and belonging

 

  • An O.C. Tanner Institute report found that 34% of UK employees do not consider their workplace a community, while 65% admit they want to feel a strong sense of belonging at work.

A sense of community and belonging is a powerful feeling that should never be underestimated.

By creating a culture where employees feel they belong you will empower your workforce and have a happier team overall.
