Top threats to employee engagement

​A lack of clear direction, slow technology and outdated thinking feature prominently in a new study on what affects employee engagement, productivity and happiness.

The survey, conducted by work management platform provider Wrike, collected the views of 3,000 workers across France, Germany and the UK.

It shows that 1 in 3 UK workers have looked for alternative employment after they became disengaged owing to operational inefficiencies.  The main reasons for worker frustration include:

• Outdated ways of working and thinking (39%)
• Having to use slow or outdated technology (38%)
• Anxiety caused by the introduction of new processes (34%)
• Lack of clear direction on projects or tasks (31%)
