Disengagement is contagious and costly, and it’s your responsibility as a manager or HR professional to deal with this contagion before it spreads throughout your workplace. Overall, 16 percent of employees are actively disengaged, according to Gallup , but even one disengaged employee is one too many. You can spot an actively disengaged worker as someone who disrupts projects by dropping the ball, overburdens co-workers who have to complete undone tasks, and ruins team cohesiveness by undercutt

What is it about your company culture that defines your organization’s identity and builds your employee alignment? How do you tell the world about the values behind your company? A mission statement keeps everyone on the same page with respect to why you’re even in business at all. While you may feel that your primary purpose for existing is to be financially profitable, no company will achieve long-term success if its only mission is “to make money.

Those big plans include the need for project planning, for meetings, vendor selection and deep thoughts. After awhile, the process takes over the original intent, which was trying to serve a need and make the people processes of our company just a little bit better.

There is no shortage of media attention given to the topic of artificial intelligence and the impact of automation on job prospects in the future. In fact, a recent study by Forrester suggests that we can expect 10 percent of U.S. jobs to be lost to automation in 2019. McKinsey suggests by 2030 that number will balloon to 800 million people. If HR executives are not proactive, they are likely to find themselves included in those statistics.
