25 Jul Signs of a disengaged office space
According to a Gallup poll, an astonishing 70% of the workforce is disengaged, ultimately costing companies billions in lost productivity.
There are a lot of aspects to keep an eye on in your workspace, however, the importance of knowing the signs to watch out for in order to prevent your company from losing revenue is critical.
- Segregated Departments
Segregated departments only result in seclusion, which diminishes any sort of interaction, collaborative ideas and teamwork. This is a high sign of office disengagement and can be prevented through the implementation of open, interconnected stairs.
- No Social Interaction
Little to none social interaction within a working environment leads to the lack of relationships within the team. Without these relationships, a team within an office will have difficulty in working together as the social interaction is what binds them.
- Lack of 360⁰ Feedback
360⁰ feedback is the process of employees having the ability to receive confidential feedback from those who work in their presence. Such feedback typically can be a result of managers, peers and direct reports. The lack of receiving such feedback is a sign of disengagement between employees and disinterest in the workplace.
- No Living Values
The diminishment of living values within the workspace is a definite sign of a disengaged office. Incorporating living values within the working environment is essential in creating office culture and authenticity, which ultimately gives you the competitive edge and keeps your employees happy and engaged.
- The absence of Top-Down Feedback
A top-down feedback review involves a supervisor evaluating the working performance of an employee in a formal review. This is a great opportunity to share wins and losses and to show appreciation within the workplace, without which, employees may feel undervalued and become disengaged.
These five points are just the beginning of the many signs to look out for in order to prevent a disengaged workspace.
If your staff are disengaged it could be costing you thousands or more.
