Do all of your employees know what your company stands for — its mission, why it’s in business and how it’s different from competing companies? Only 41 percent of U.S. workers say they do. Surprised? So are we.
While most business leaders can clearly describe their company or organization’s mission, most employees can’t, according to Gallup research. Another surprising fact: Only four in 10 U.S. employees strongly believe that the mission of their company makes them feel their job is important.
That’s a real problem, in our opinion. Research shows a clear link between how well employees understand and embrace their company’s mission/purpose and the quality of the product/service it provides and ultimately, how well it satisfies customers. According to Gallup, just small improvement in a workforce’s connection with their company’s mission or purpose would likely result in a significant decrease in employee turnover and an increase in employee engagement and company performance. If your company or organization doesn’t have a formal mission, it needs one. If it has one, everyone should understand what it is and how their work ties into and is important to this purpose.
