Companies are going back to their drawing boards to understand the reason for decreased employee engagement towards the organization. Unhappy workers end up to be less efficient and this indirectly affects the growth of the company.
The reasons for growing disengagement can be many, employees may not be interested in the job that they are doing and they may be working only for the sake of money. It can also be such that they develop a feeling that the company doesn’t care about them. This happens when there is lack of communication between the management and the employees.
