Employee empowerment and engagement can significantly impact productivity. Research shows that work environments that foster trust and quality relationships create the most committed and productive employees. Outstanding leadership means creating an environment where team members are happy and committed. There are several factors that can impact productivity, including providing environmental support, practicing uneventful management, and leaders exhibiting confidence, credibility, and flexibility. Highly engaged employees can see a 25% increase in performance compared to disengaged employees. Case studies show how different levels of engagement can impact annual wages and lost potential performance.
