Low Morale? Unproductive Employees Cost A Lot (Infographic)

Unhappy works cost the U.S. between $450 and $550 billion dollars a year.

Billion. With a capital ‘B’. So, what’s the problem?

Low morale leads to low productivity

Not to be surprised, employees that are disgruntled and unsatisfied are less productive. What’s to blame?

For starters, 46% of new hires fail to perform within 18 months of starting a position, with the majority to blame for a poor work culture fit.

As well, 80% of people who are dissatisfied with their work also report dissatisfaction with their manager.

Overall, 70% of people report that they are disengaged at work.

Engaged employees are happier, more productive

The solution? Change the company culture and engage employees.

Engaged employees perform 20% better than their non-engaged counterparts, and happy employees have up to 37% higher sales.

By identifying a company culture and hiring those that fit the mould, you can optimize your company’s workplace into a highly positive, cohesive unit.

Having a great work-life balance will also help boost productivity and success.
