Our topic today is about how to improve employee engagement at your company and we are continuing a two part series that we started last week. If you recall, last week, I mentioned that most HR directors and executives know engagement is a problem. They just are not sure what is actually causing it or what to do about it. So, in the last episode, I shared with you a bunch of studies and statistics about what the experts are saying is the real problem.
 
And as it turns, most companies are spending their workforce engagement budgets on things that aren't the real problem.
 
Today we cover the two root causes that most companies never address along with a few steps that you can implement to actually solve the problems -- or at the very least, minimize the destructiveness of the behaviors. And then, at the end of the episode, I included a list of widely circulated FAKE employee engagement statistics! During our research, we kept coming across these same statistics over and over. Apparently, other posts keep reprinting them because they never actually checked the original source. Once you see the list that we compiled, you'll begin to realize WHY HR executives are spending so much for activities and processes that don't move the needle at all. So, stick around until the end of the episode for that.
