Employee engagement: That’s a buzzword in the last, well…century of business management for two main reasons: first, engaged employees are the 20 percent of people who produce 80 percent of your profit and, second according to the Society for Human Resource Management, it costs the equivalent of six to nine months salary to replace a disengaged employee, plus an additional 90-200 percent in long-term expenses.
So, as hackneyed as it may be, “employee engagement” is and will always be critically important to companies who kinda sorta want to make money. But what does a 28-year old with a mustache and capris know about corporate-level employee engagement? Well, to start…I’m an expert in dis-engagement.
