Miriam Connaughton, chief people and experience officer at Simpplr, emphasizes human-centered approaches in technology and organizational practices. Prioritizing core relationships among employees, managers, co-workers, and the organization fosters engagement, productivity, and shared success.
A recent January 2024 Employee Engagement survey by Gallup revealed the trend of stagnating employee engagement levels despite ongoing concerted efforts to improve them. As highlighted in this survey, only around a third of US workers feel truly engaged right now— with leadership communication and organizational structure identified as key factors contributing to this trend. Gallup estimates this level of subpar engagement could be costing an astronomical $1.9 trillion in lost potential.
