This is a take from the old saying that “people retire ON the job”, instead of “from the job.” Similarly, there is a great book titled, “I Quit… But Forgot to Tell You!”, by Terri Kabachnick.
The book is about disengaged workers and it outlines the cost to U.S companies… excess of $250 billion in 2002 numbers. Can anyone begin to guess what disengagement costs today?!
According to Kabachnick’s research: Continue reading ‘Did Your Employees Quit and Forget to Tell You?’ »
One of the very best articles I have read on “burnout” was outlined in an article from Stress and Burnout in Ministry. Many times the lines between the two conditions are blurred and we become confused to actually what is going on with our moods and emotions. Many of the symptoms between stress and burnout are similar; leaving us often times attempting to solve a problem that we don’t actually have the correct diagnosis to begin. Are we experiencing stress or burnout? Continue reading ‘Is There a Difference Between Stress and Burnout?’ »
Commitment is the eleventh C in the twelve part series of the C’s of Success.
Commitment is the one factor or element that truly separates individuals and organizations. The individuals who understand the value of commitment will flourish with purpose and positive outcomes – the ones who hold back on commitment will seldom reach their full potential. And if there is one thing I hear more often from leaders – I wish we had more commitment. Interesting the impact of commitment.
What is Commitment?

How It Heightens Disengagement and Costs You Millions
Dysfunction in a team will usually result in poor performance and inadequate productivity, but the effects of team dysfunctions on the employees themselves just might be far more serious and much more costly.
When a team becomes dysfunctional you can expect disengagement to follow as individuals may lose sight of team goals, not understand their role in the team and wait for direction to make any progress. Statistics say that the average employee is disengaged two hours each day. Could dysfunctional teams be contributing to disengagement in your organization? If so, just how does it affect your bottom-line?
Disengagement is not a small concern. Take, for example, a company with 100 employees who work full time at an average wage of $25 per hour. What is disengagement costing them? The productivity they could be losing due to disengagement is worth an estimated $1,200,000.
Determining the cost of disengagement within your organization is an important step in tackling this talent management burden. Then, consider implementing organizational and team multi-rater surveys that give everyone in the organization the opportunity to speak up and help you determine the real root of disengagement. Perhaps it is dysfunction in a team, job misfit, mismanagement, lack of motivation or other personnel-related issues. No matter what the cause, identifying it, addressing it and implementing a solution will make a dramatic difference on your bottom-line.
