“It’s not so much that they are impacting productivity, but there is something else missing. There is no passion, no drive, and no willingness to jump into anything. The good news is that if you can determine why your employee has checked-out, you have a better chance at fixing things before it’s too late.”

“Many employees reported that they went to work and only put in 50 per cent or less effort on a daily basis, which is known as presenteeism — at work but not being productive”

“One of the key ingredients in any business’s growth is a workforce committed to its success. A company’s survival is jeopardized once that focus dissipates, whether it occurs through lack of long-term planning, poor communication or an unwillingness to discipline.”

We love asking the leaders we work with, “How much can an employee steal from your organization before they get fired?” The response is almost always, “If an employee steals, they’re fired immediately.” And yet, most of these leaders continue to employ disengaged employees who are “stealing” valuable time and resources.
