Disengaged employees are more than just apathetic. They’re dispirited, disconnected and discontented, and can easily derail organizational goals.
According to Gallup research:
• disengaged employees’ low productivity erodes a company’s bottom line;
• their negative attitudes detrimentally affect morale organization-wide;
• within the U.S. workforce alone, employee disengagement costs an estimated $300 billion.
So how do you prevent tuned-out employees from undermining your company’s success?

Keeping Entry Level Workers from Quitting
by Jason on Feb.27, 2010
| Attracting, motivating and retaining entry-level workers can present a challenge to businesses of all sizes. The wide age range of such workers, which may include inexperienced beginners in their late teens to older workers with extensive job experience, complicates the matter. What motivates the workers varies according to their different needs and perceptions. Youthful workers, for example, may view the job as only a first step in their work life. Benefits, such as insurance, may not seem as important to them as to the older worker with a family. continue reading… |

Today’s Businesses Need “Gladiator” Leaders
by Jason on Feb.05, 2010
Remember the heart-pounding, soul-stirring message of the movie Gladiator? Remember how Maximus, the Russell Crowe character, rallied his men around him and led them to victory, even in the face of almost certain defeat? Remember his “envision the goal” technique for getting through the horrors of battle? Now, consider the leadership in your own company. Any gladiators in the ranks? Are you a gladiator?
The time is right for a more heroic style of leadership. Desperate times lend themselves to the rise of gladiators. Instead of seeing today’s economy as a negative, executives should view it as an opportunity in disguise – a chance to position your organization for the inevitable economic upswing.

Masiello Employment is committed to creating and maintaining a positive work environment, not only for our internal employees, but for our employees in the field as well.

We are all very excited about 2010 and what lies ahead for our employees and candidates. Please download a copy of our newsletter here.

Engaged Employees Are More Productive
by Jason on Jan.18, 2010
Hopefully by now we all get it: this economy is challenging, things are changing, and everyone is looking for ways to do more with less. Unfortunately, as many companies struggle to adjust to this new reality, opportunities are being missed. Often we are so focused on stretching an organization’s financial and other resources that we become less effective in managing our human resources.
Why do you think that is? A lot of the time, it’s just a matter of focusing on the tangible rather than the intangible. If you can improve a machine’s output by 10 percent, that’s obviously a good thing. But improving an employee’s productivity…that’s much more difficult to turn into a percentage (or a dollar figure). continue reading…
