E52: How leadership can solve the employee engagement problem, with Sean Hagger
Why are so few employees engaged at work? Search for Gallup State of the Global Workforce and you'll see some shocking stats about how disengaged employees are, and how much this hits the bottom line [over $7 trillion in lost productivity!].
So finding and retaining the right talent for the right job is the NUMBER 1 issue facing organisations! This is one of the reasons I started this podcast - employer content marketing has a role to play but so does leadership. If you have an engagement problem you've got a leadership problem.
So I just had to get Sean Hagger in for a chat about leadership. Sean is a leadership consultant and an associate at Legitimate Leadership with experience in the Pharmaceuticals & Sustainability Tech arenas.
Sean talks about the connection between leadership and employee engagement and how leadership can be more part of the solution than the issue.
Thanks for listening. Thanks for watching.
