Why Bother?

A recent study by Gallup shows that business units in the top half on employee engagement have an astounding 94% higher success rate within their own organization and a 145% higher success rate across business units.*

That's the kind of success that catches the attention of senior leadership.

In world-class organizations, the ratio of engaged to actively disengaged employees is 9.57:1. In average organizations, the ratio of engaged to actively disengaged employees drops significantly - to 1.83:1.*

What Does this Mean for Me

This research proves that with the creation and maintenance of simple but effective employee development and engagement programs, you and your department will realize a much greater degree of success.

However, only 29% of American workers currently feel engaged in their work.*** That's YOUR problem. ASTD can equip you as a manager to solve it.

With the creation and maintenance of simple but effective employee development and engagement programs, you and your department will realize a much greater degree of success.
