For employees, unarticulated frustration can turn into confusion and anger that quickly creates a culture of low morale. This then manifests as apathy, resistance or even sabotage.

Soon, no one wants to talk about the real issues even though they are staring everyone in the face. These things are difficult to talk about and all too often at key briefings and presentations people just sit in silence, unable to say what they really think because it feels too risky to speak up.

So many people we’ve worked with tell us that there’s a painful contradiction between what organisations have to say about what’s going on and what people actually see and feel.  This leaves them wondering ‘why can’t they say how it really is’?  The result? Disengaged employees.

What about you? Do you see things differently from your organisation? How does this affect employee engagement?  Why not print this out and ask a colleague what they think.
