NEW APPROACHES IN HRM

79 employees and giving them career growth opportunities is one sure way to show them that their company is investing in their future. Training enables employees to get engaged with their responsibility, as employee engagement is the key to a successful business. Although, the research has indicated that only a few people are engaged to their role because of not receiving adequate training from the employers. In 2015, a Gallup study poll shows that only 30% of employees say that they’re engaged in their job, and more than 50% of employees said they were not engaged, and almost 20% of employees said that they were “ actively disengaged ” . This is not just a single piece of research, either; other surveys have found that just 25% to 35% of the workforce across the U.S. are engaged in their work. This really is a silent epidemic.
