Employee Disengagement And Vandalism

Would you put up with an employee who vandalizes your business or doesn’t do their work fully?
 
Of course, you wouldn’t.
 
Let’s explore a thought: According to Gallup Research, “32% of full- and part-time employees working for organizations are now engaged, while 18% are actively disengaged.”
 
If 68% of employees are disengaged, and 18% totally disengaged, what is happening to your organization regarding production, administration, operations?
 
The simple answer is neglect, and we all know that neglect costs more than proper maintenance as well as breakdowns in systems and processes, all demanding repairs.
 
That being the case, how is disengagement, creating repairs, additional maintenance, and costly expenditures, different from vandalism?
 
It isn’t, as Sol says, “The one who is lazy in his work is brother to a vandal.” ~ Proverbs 18:9
 
As the aphorism goes, “Inspect what you expect.”
 
Do that and you will make it a great day and keep being awesome.
