As we approach the Super Bowl, imagine that your workforce is a football team. Is everyone on the field playing with clear goals, enthusiasm, and trust? A study by Harris Interactive involving 23,000 full-time employees sheds light on the current state of employee engagement and highlights opportunities for improvement:


Employees’ Perspective of Their Work:

  • 37% have a clear understanding of the goals.

  • Only 1 in 5 are enthusiastic about the goals.

  • Only 1 in 5 have a clear “line of sight” between their tasks and the goals.

  • 50% are satisfied with their work.

  • Only 15% feel their organization enables them to execute goals.

  • Only 15% believe they are part of a high-trust organization.

  • 17% think their organization fosters open communication.

  • A mere 10% feel their organization holds people accountable.

  • Only 13% believe there is high trust between departments.


If the Typical Workforce was a Football Team:

  • Only 4 would know which goal is theirs.

  • Only 2 would care.

  • Only 2 would know the plays.

  • 9 would compete against each other.
