Twenty-nine (29%) of employees are engaged at their workplaces and 19% are actually disengaged. (1) Without engagement, employees do not bring their full selves to the job. Also known as discretionary effort, employees can choose how much to apply themselves at work; the less effort, the more likely a crisis in productivity. A critical driver of employee engagement is in providing employees with ongoing career development and helping them see their direct contribution to the achievement of the organization's mission and goals. Active mentoring catalyzes career development. Companies would be wise to create more mentoring opportunites which will in turn energize engagement.
