Workforce disengagement is a huge problem for organisations around the world. In Britain, it’s a problem that is seriously harming productivity.

According to Hay Group’s ‘What’s My Motivation?’ report, only 15% of UK workers consider themselves ‘highly motivated’, with as many as a quarter (24%) admitting to ‘coasting’ and a further tenth (8%) being ‘completely demotivated’. Moreover, the most worrying finding for UK PLC’s is that poor employee motivation is cutting productivity by close to half with just a fifth (21%) of workers considering themselves ‘very effective’ in their current role. Employees believe that they would be as much as 45% more productive if they were doing a job they loved, and 28% more productive with better training.

A 45% increase in employee productivity could be worth up to £340 billion in added output per year to the UK service sector alone, with a 26% increase worth some £212 billion.
