If you are wondering if employee engagement is a problem in your workplace, consider the following list of indicators of low employee engagement.
Whether staff is volunteering to leave or is being dismissed, only a small percentage of turn over is due to factors unrelated to employee engagement. The simple truth is that if employees are engaged and have high job satisfaction, they stay.
The stats have been slipping for awhile now. If you were to chart the decline it would be a slope downward.
When employees are unmotivated and they are not working effectively as a team, deadlines get missed.
Employees rarely walk around with a smile on their face. They are not interested in planning or being a part of social activities.

They complain about other departments and are blatant in their non-cooperation. It is to the point that the managers of other departments complain.
As soon as they can, they are out of there. They arrive when they must and leave when they can.
They call in sick, seem to be going to the doctor a lot, plan their vacation days carefully and use up all personal days.
You may be seeing a problem with staff arriving late. It started off with one employee arriving late and now you are seeing others arriving late.
Miscommunications happen when staff are not listening carefully to each other and not taking the time to deliver their messages clearly and carefully.
