This document is an e-book about reinvigorating a disengaged workforce. It discusses analyzing workforce productivity, the influence of demographics on disengagement, and the adverse effects of disengagement on business performance. It provides recommendations for identifying disengaged employees, empowering engaged leadership, and implementing strategic planning to address systemic issues influencing disengagement. The e-book concludes by emphasizing the power of engaged leadership to reinvigorate a workforce.
Leadership Key Whitepaper 2015 by LeadershipHQSonia McDonald
Research by AON Hewitt tells us that nearly half of the world’s employees are not engaged, and that each disengaged employee costs your organisation an average of $10,000 in profit annually.
Why is employee disengagement so high? Is it something all organisations just have to “live with” or is there a way of managing it and perhaps converting disengaged employees into team members who are happy and enthusiastic about their work?
There are many benefits to having a workforce that is engaged in their work. Employees who are actively engaged in their work:
• are happier and less likely to move on to another competitor
• tend to feel less stressed and call in sick less
• feel that their actions matter so are more likely to work diligently which increases quality and productivity
• have positive attitudes about their company, management,
co-workers and customers making them more likely to share their time and talents and bring their best ideas and creativity to their workplace
Unfortunately, the recent climate of economic uncertainty has thrown many organisations into turmoil as they struggle to make changes so they can maintain a competitive foothold in the marketplace. It is the employees who are feeling the strain as their employment or promotional prospects look shaky and internal communications dry up while senior executives work out how to deal with the situation. That’s where employee disengagement enters.
In this paper we pose the following questions:
• Is your workforce destined to remain disengaged?
• What does that do to your business performance?
• More importantly what does it do to morale?
• Is disengagement contagious?
• Is it systemic?
• What can you do to overcome disengagement?
We found that in many cases, employee disengagement is a systemic organisational issue. It is caused or aggravated by out-dated systems which ignore the basic needs of the employee and exist primarily for the benefit of the business. It’s an old strategy which is well past its use-by date.
Successful organisations have identified the main factors behind disengagement and have begun to address them. They have realised that their leaders hold the key to employee engagement because they are the meeting point between employee and organisational needs.
WHY? It has been designed for YOU to learn and gain confidence and resilience as well as understand your amazing talents, strengths and abilities as a leader.
The emphasis of the program is on the YOU! Through a combination of empowering sessions and reflection, we help leaders to realise their own potential and to become the kind of leader they want to be.
What will the EmpowYOU give me?
It will give you confidence in yourself as an individual and as a leader.
You will learn about yourself and the strengths you have which can help your personal development.
You will learn how to harness your strengths as well as your personal brand. You will discover the power of resilience and how to use it wisely towards successful outcomes.
You will discover what drives and motivates you and how to maintain your motivation while still maintaining balance and focus.
Why Change is Hard - HRD Magazine by Sonia McDonaldSonia McDonald
This document discusses how understanding neuroscience can help explain why 70% of change initiatives fail and provide strategies for more successful change management. It explains that the brain's amygdala responds to change as a threat which hinders problem-solving. However, the brain can rewire itself (neuroplasticity) through new thoughts and actions. The summary recommends harnessing neuroplasticity by providing opportunities to develop new behaviors and using positive reinforcement to help embed changes.

LeadershipHQ Active Listening Tool
1. Active Listening.
It will take time and patience, but active listening is a
skill that can be acquired and developed with practice.
‘Active listening’ involves effort. It requires full
concentration to hear not just what is being said but
the nuances, the undertones, and the subtext.
Active listening involves listening with all
senses. Face to face it’s important that the
‘active listener’ is also ‘seen’ to be listening.
Interest can be conveyed by using both verbal and non-
verbal messages such as staying present, keeping eye
contact, nodding your head and smiling, recognising
them by saying ‘Yes’ or simply ‘Mmm hmm.’ Such
‘feedback’ will encourage the speaker and make them
feel more at ease. This sense of engagement helps
promote more open and honest communication.
Listeners should remain non-judgmental and neutral.
This means forming unbiased opinions and not
taking sides, especially early on in the conversation.
Active listening is about patience and being present.
Pauses and short periods of silence are okay and
can also be useful tactics. Listeners should not
interrupt or interject with questions, or whenever
there are a few seconds of silence. Active listening
means giving the other person time to explore
their own thoughts, opinions, and feelings.

EXERCISE 10.3 ACTIVE
LISTENING GUIDE
(Source - Active Listening Exercise
by Institute for Charitable Giving)
In this exercise, we rate your
active listening skills across
some communication areas.
Use the rating scale to the right
to score the statements.
RATING SCALE
Always 5
Almost Always 4
Usually 3
Sometimes 2
Seldom - 1
Never -(minus) 2
CONCENTRATION
1.
When I am talking with others, my mind is completely absorbed by what they are saying and
doesn’t wander.
2.
I hold onto my comments and opinions until the other person is finished talking, even if my
comments have direct relevance to what he or she is saying.
3.
I do not let interruptions, like ringing phones, my emails or people walking by distracting my
attention from what the person is saying.
4.
When I talk with someone, I have a real recollection of what he/she said as opposed to what I
said.
2. SENSITIVITY
17.
When talking with others, I read their body language as well as listen to their words to fully
interpret what they are telling me.
18.
When you are effectively listening, the nonverbal communication the person is sending me
is as important as the verbal, and I am alert to that – facial expressions, posture, eye contact,
tapping fingers, light facial muscles, frowning, etc.
19.
I listen to more than the words themselves – I hear the emotional tone of the person, the pitch,
the subtle variations that might indicate displeasure, etc.
20.
I try to read what’s going on behind their spoken words by asking myself what they might be
feeling, why they are saying it, and what is implied by what they say.
PERSONAL CONCERNS
21.
I make certain that the physical environment is appropriate for effective conversation-– music
is not too loud, the temperature is not too hot or cold, etc.
22. I care greatly about people and those I meet and talk with can sense that in my listening.
23.
I’m careful to avoid anything that provides a negative connotation - raising an eyebrow,
looking away, rolling my eyes, drumming my fingers.
24. If the person has negative feelings about the institution or me, I do not become defensive.
TOTAL SCORE
ACKNOWLEDGING
5. I build on previous responses by asking to follow up questions to statements just made.
6.
I make certain that the other person knows that I am listening by giving a brief and
encouraging acknowledgments such as “I see” and “That’s interesting.”
7. In a discussion, more than half my time is spent listening rather than talking.
8.
I am mindful about not sending the wrong nonverbal message, moving to a closed body
position, impatiently tapping fingers on the desk and so on.
STRUCTURING
9. Before a meeting, I establish my objectives and prepare myself to listen.
10.
When talking with others, I take mental notes of major ideas, key points, and supporting
reasons
11.
I ask for clarification or elaboration regarding the speaker’s viewpoint – to ensure proper
interpretation and complete understanding of the rationale.
12. I attend to all promised actions, however great or small following a discussion.
RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
13.
When I talk with someone, I encourage a two-way flow of communication by asking open-
ended questions.
14.
I let others know that I am trying to understand what they are saying by using phrases such as
“tell me more about that” or “can you give me an example?”
15. I ask people what they expect from a given action or relationship.
16.
I prepare for my meeting in advance by reading, reviewing and finding out as much as
possible about the person I’ll be meeting with.
3. Is this reflective of your current active listening skills? Why?
Are there current workplace situations where this truly reflects these weak areas?
What showed up as your strongest rating?
What areas require further development?
What can you do differently in these situations to improve
these areas which will result in better active listening?
