Why do employees become disengaged? Why do employees lose trust in the company and in management? These are the trigger factors though ultimately it is a loss of respect and poor or little communication.

1. PERCEPTION IS REALITY
(YOUR EMPLOYEES, YOUR FACILITY, YOUR PEOPLE, YOUR
CULTURE)
WITHOUT EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT THERE IS LOSS OF
TRUST AND RESPECT IN THE COMPANY.
WHY MY EMPLOYEES?

2. EMPLOYEES FEEL THEY LACK JOB SECURITY BECAUSE:
 MANAGEMENT CONDONED ARBITRARY SEPARATIONS.
 MANAGEMENT FAILED TO HAVE PROPER DOCUMENTATION BEFORE TAKING
ACTION AND THE RESULT WAS AN UPSET FORMER EMPLOYEE AND, EVEN
MORE SERIOUS, AN UPSET ORGANIZATION.
 MANAGEMENT WAS JUST “TOO BUSY” TO LISTEN.
 MANAGEMENT “TOO BUSY” TO INVESTIGATE AND OBTAIN ANSWERS.
 MANAGEMENT WAS NOT FOLLOWING A CONSISTENT PROMOTION-FROM-
WITHIN POLICY – NO CONSIDERATIONS GIVEN TO SENIORITY.
 MANAGEMENT SHOWED FAVORITISM.
WHY MY EMPLOYEES?

3. WAGE PROGRAM DEFICIENCIES:
MANAGEMENT NOT KEEPING CONSISTENTLY ABREAST OF
COMPETITIVE WAGES IN THE AREA FOR LIKE WORK.
FAILURE TO REVIEW SALARY SCHEDULES AND MAKE SALARY
ADJUSTMENTS WHEN NECESSARY.
FAILURE TO INFORM EMPLOYEE OF NEW WAGE RATE WHEN
SALARY INCREASE IS GIVEN.
ERRATIC, SHORT HOUR SCHEDULES. EXCEPTIONS TO THE
NORMAL SCHEDULE NOT FULLY DOCUMENTED ON
EMPLOYEES’ RECORDS. FLEXING DOWN.
WHY MY EMPLOYEES?

4. EMPLOYEES FAIL TO UNDERSTAND ORGANIZATION BENEFITS
OR POLICIES:
EMPLOYEES NOT PROVIDED WITH THE NECESSARY
INFORMATION TO FULLY UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE THE
BENEFIT PROGRAM. ALTHOUGH OUR ORGANIZATION
PROVIDES AN EXCELLENT BENEFIT PACKAGE – MOST OF
THIS EFFORT GOES WITHOUT CREDIT WHEN EMPLOYEES DO
NOT UNDERSTAND AND UTILIZE THAT WHICH IS RIGHTFULLY
THEIRS.
EMPLOYEES HAVE NOT RECEIVED UPDATED EMPLOYEE
HANDBOOKS. WHAT LANGUAGE IS THE HANDBOOK IN?
WHY MY EMPLOYEES?

5. SUPERVISION DEFICIENCIES:
 INCONSISTENT STANDARDS – FAVORITISM.
 JOB DUTIES NOT DEFINED.
 FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVEMENT.
 FAILURE TO PROPERLY ORIENT NEW EMPLOYEES.
 FAILURE TO CONDUCT “EMPLOYEE ANNUAL REVIEW.”
 LACK OF UNIFORM RULES AND REGULATIONS, OR IF ESTABLISHED, NOT
MADE KNOWN.
WHY MY EMPLOYEES?

6. EMPLOYEES FEEL IGNORED:
 CHANGES MADE WITHOUT EMPLOYEES BEING INFORMED OR CONSULTED.
 EMPLOYEES’ SUGGESTIONS NOT GIVEN CONSIDERATION.
 EMPLOYEES DON’T HAVE A SAY ON THE THINGS THAT AFFECT THEIR JOBS.
 EMPLOYEES HAVE A FEELING OF “NOT BELONGING.”
 EMPLOYEES SEE NO APPARENT ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
 FAVORITISM SHOWN IN PROMOTIONS.
 INCONSISTENT ADMINISTRATION OF POLICIES AND REGULATIONS.
WHY MY EMPLOYEES?

7. POOR WORKING CONDITIONS:
DIRTY LOUNGES, INOPERATIVE RESTROOM FACILITIES, LACK
OF RESTROOM SUPPLIES.
IMPROPER VENTILATION AND TEMPERATURE.
LACK OF PROPER EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES.
UNREASONABLE DELAY AT EXIT FLOOR AFTER PUNCHING
TIME CARD.
