ROSELAND, N.J., June 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- As
organizations strive to better understand the art of employee
engagement in a highly competitive labor market, the ADP Research
Institute's 19-country Global Study of
Engagement provides a global benchmark for engagement. The
study reveals that 84% of workers globally are just 'Coming to
Work' instead of contributing all they could to their organizations
as 'Fully Engaged' employees.
The study surveyed more than 19,000 employees (one thousand per
country in a stratified random sample) around the globe to measure
their level of engagement and identify the work conditions most
likely to attract and retain talent. The research indicates that
working on a team improves engagement. In fact, employees who
identify as part of a team are 2.3 times more likely to be Fully
Engaged. However, "teams" are often not the same as what is
reflected on the organizational chart. Of those employees who work
on a team, 64% report they work on more than one team, and 75%
report their teams are not represented in their employer's
organizational chart.
The research also shows that the team leader is critical to
employee engagement. Employees who identify with being Fully
Engaged also indicated they have a sense of belonging and trust in
their leaders. Employees who completely trust their team leader are
12 times more likely to be Fully Engaged at work.
"Due to current labor market conditions, employers are
increasingly focused on elevating engagement, reducing turnover and
attracting top talent," said Marcus
Buckingham, head of people and performance research at the
ADP Research Institute. "It has been widely reported that companies
with high engagement perform better financially, are productive,
have lower turnover and greater customer satisfaction. Our research
found that working on a team – regardless of demographics, work
status, gig worker or non-gig worker – is the common thread to
ensuring a productive and engaged workforce."
As a leading source that business leaders, industry experts and
policy makers turn to for the most timely, comprehensive and
credible information on the workforce, the ADP Research Institute
recently expanded its focus to include a dedicated team studying
people and performance at work.
"For nearly a decade, the ADP Research Institute has served as a
trusted source on workforce trends and labor market data," said
Buckingham. "With the addition of people and performance
research, we can now conduct the reliable research the ADP Research
Institute is known for across every aspect of the world at
work."
Additional key findings of the Global Study of Engagement
include:
Gig workers are engaged, especially when part of a
team
- Twenty one percent of full-time gig workers are Fully Engaged
within the workforce compared to 15% of full-time workers
Virtual workers are more engaged compared to their office
peers
- Nearly one third (29%) of virtual workers are Fully Engaged
versus 18% who work in an office
The more educated and higher-level the worker, the more
engagement occurs
- Nearly one fifth (19%) of those with an advanced degree are
Fully Engaged compared to 12% of those with no college
education
- Nearly one quarter (24%) of C-suite/VP-level workers are Fully
Engaged compared to 14% of mid-level and first-level team leaders
and 8% of individual contributors
