For example, I’m a software engineer without the software licenses I need to use database tools, and a computer that is regularly crashing. I would guess that on days where my computer crashes or the license , I stop caring nearly as much and just kind of work until it wouldn’t bother me to leave for the day. I’d be able to accept if there wasn’t room in the budget for everything, but I’ve been told for the last 3 months that they’ve ordered a new computer, and the license will be purchased “soon”. For a while, I was close to looking for a new job, even though I like what I’m working on, most of the people I work with, and have pretty fair compensation.

But I don’t trust that any of those surveys are truly anonymous. I have never answered truthfully about anything negative.

Where bureaucracy is obstructive, people may give up efforts to do real work effectively and resort to passive-aggressive compliance with all the rules, however that may hamper getting actual results. It’s harder to spot than other forms of disengagement because it looks like they’re cooperating.

Then wonder why the department’s retention rate is in the toilet. Reign of Terror = disengagement = I’m Outta Here

Those metrics can provide a guide to what employers can do to improve engagement. They measure things such as whether employees are clear on their managers’ expectations, whether assignments match up with employees’ best abilities, whether employees have the proper tools for the job, whether employees are receiving regular feedback, whether employees feel like someone cares about them as a person, whether employees’ opinions “count,” etc. All of these metrics suggest avenues that management can pursue to increase employee engagement.
