Re-engagement - now is the time

Strong internal relationships are central to building productive and profitable workforces and the role of HR in helping to create and maintain environments that are conducive to keeping your crucial players is key, says Clive Hyland. 
 

However, a recent study shows there may be some challenges for HR professionals to address - research conducted amongst 4,000 employees shows there are major problems with miscommunication between line managers and employees.

Almost half (46%) of employees questioned in the study conducted for Think Feel Know Coaching (TFK) said they were unsure of what was being asked of them by their line manager when given tasks and over a third (37%) experienced this uncertainty between one and three times a day. Employees estimated this resulted in up to 40 minutes of wasted time per day – the equivalent of 83 employees in a company of 1,000 doing nothing every day.
