Employee disengagement and attrition could cost a median-size S&P 500 company more than $288 million a year in lost productivity, according to recent McKinsey research. The more satisfied and committed employees are at work, the higher their self-reported performance and well-being. With hybrid and remote-working models now the norm in many workplaces, how can companies measure employee effectiveness, and in turn, boost productivity? In a new McKinsey Quarterly article, Aaron De Smet, Angelika Reich, and their coauthors describe the six worker archetypes present in every organization—from highly dissatisfied and actively disengaged on one end of the spectrum to “thriving stars” on the other—and suggest what companies can do to help improve the performance of all employees. Check it out to see how your company can build a more resilient and engaged workforce. And don’t miss this week’s sustainable and inclusive growth briefing which features the best-of-summer roundup of SIG insights.
