CIPD study highlights four areas of focus to improve employee engagement

​The CIPD’s bi-annual Employee Outlook report, which is now in its eighth year, has highlighted four areas that organisations should focus on to improve employee engagement. 

These include:
1.    Employees’ influence over their jobs
2.    Use of skills
3.    Employees’ motivation
4.    Effort to achieve results 

​The study shows net agreement amongst employees that they clearly know their organisation’s core purpose is very high at +78. However, employees that say they are motivated by the company’s purpose is much lower at +35. This is an area that the CIPD highlighted needs improving.

Furthermore, almost a quarter (24%) disagree or strongly disagree that their organisation provides them with the opportunity to learn and grow, while 22% said they were dissatisfied with opportunities to develop skills.
