Employees and Employers

This article really disturbed me. It is about employee engagement.  The article is based on an extensive and detailed study conducted by Deloitte. The title of the study is "Global Human Capital Trends 2015".  According to the article author and Deloitte study, we are in a new world of work.The workplace has shifted in favor of employees, at the expense of the employer.

The biggest challenge for employers is employee engagement. Think about that.  For any business to be competitive and an enjoyable place to work, it needs employees to be engaged and invested. Employees have more flexibility and freedom and consequently can choose not to be invested. Is it that employers do not know how to foster engagement?  Is it that employees have decided my energy is better spent outside my career or place of work?  No winners here.
