Why Passion Works
Recent surveys show that attracting and retaining top talent is the number one people-issue for executives.
According to a recent survey by Gallup (UK):
-
19% of employees are engaged and productive
-
61% are ‘not engaged’ (not committed to their roles and would leave with the right opportunity)
-
20% are ‘actively disengaged’ (negative in the workplace)
What this means for organisations is that some people will work at full throttle, lots will coast and there will be some groups that actively disrupt the activities that the organisation is pursuing.
We find that most organisations are puzzled as to how to alleviate this situation. In fact, most of our clients tell us that they have accepted it as just a reality of the workplace. They’ve resigned themselves to an undesirable situation because they don’t know how to manage it. But, if you can’t create a culture that is inviting and attractive to those with the knowledge, skills and attitude to make your business successful, then, what have you really got? You may be able to recruit people because your organisation is a market leader in your industry, but how do you retain the people you’ve invested in heavily? How do you keep top talent working for you?
Using PassionWorks!™ we help people who want to improve this situation. We do this by enabling people to discover what their passion is and, just as importantly how to sustain it. In other words people identify what gives them a sense of meaning and they also define how and when they experience a sense of progress. More than this we also help leaders of organisations to know how to frame business activities so that their employees connect to their work – and it’s this combined focus which ensures that organisations not only hire the right people but dramatically improve their ability to retain top talent.
