(From UNC Kenan-Flagler)—The greatest concerns of most CEOs are operational excellence, innovation, risk, the regulatory environment, and competing globally. Underpinning those areas is their primary concern—human capital. The “people thread” is what prepares an organization to compete and win. The greatest asset that organizations have is the power of their employees. Employee engagement—the emotional commitment of employees—is a tremendous competitive advantage that impacts the bottom line when strategically managed.

The majority of organizations have an opportunity to further leverage employee engagement as a business driver. A recent Gallup poll found that more than 70 percent of American workers are either actively or passively disengaged from their work. HR, talent management professionals, and business leaders need to assess (or re-assess) how widespread and entrenched employee disengagement is in their organizations and partner together to improve it.
