Signs Your Employee is Disengaged
28:07
 

 Hello and welcome to Episode 308 of The People Powered Business Podcast.

Today we’re digging into the vault and rereleasing one of our most popular episodes, back from late 2020.

Today we are taking a look at the other side of employee engagement. We have spoken a few times on the podcast about employee engagement, what it is, why it’s important and how you can improve it.

However, we haven’t before spoken about how to identify a disengaged employee and what you need to look out for. Today we take a detailed look at 7 key signs that your employee may be disengaged.

Specifically we discuss:

  • Changes in behaviour and routine;
  • Withdrawal from social connections at work;
  • Employees becoming distracted and losing focus at work;
  • Missing deadlines and work quality starting to slip;
  • The importance if you notice a change in their demeanour;
  • Communication becoming frustrating or non existent;
  • The rise in absenteeism.
