Build engagement with these helpful profiles
The Gallup State of the Global Workplace Report for 2023 makes this important point: "Employee engagement does not mean happiness. If you are only measuring employee contentment, you are missing engagement. And the reality is that many corporate measures of engagement are really just measuring contentment. True engagement means your people are psychologically present to do their work. They understand what to do; they have what they need; and they have a supportive manager and a supportive team. They know why their work matters. They are work ready." (p. 10)
Having a supportive manager and a supportive team can be built using Everything DiSC® and Five Behaviors® profiles - they develop teamwork, personal awareness and ways to respond to others that keeps engagement and productivity high and tension low. Let me know how I can help your organization!
