Topics: Employee Engagement + Loyalty, Benefits Trends

Praveen kumar Nice artical! employee appreciation, engagement and benefits has become an important factor in India now, considering the huge amount of attrition with recent times. My company, Work Advantage, is one of India's biggest employee benefits aggregator. Please visit www.workadvantage.in if you wish to extend an awesome employee benefits package to your corporation. Thank you! Ken Do you have any statistics for the % of companies with loyalty programs that allow their employees to participate in them? Brandon Carter Thanks for the question Ken. I'm not aware of any specific data around that, but I'll certainly see what I can find. Employee participation as a barometer of relevance and success has been discussed as a program success KPI for years, yet I don't think anyone has put together any actual data around it. But if it's out there, we'll track it down. Ken Thanks Brandon--would love to see anything you find on this Lisa Holland Great set of data, thank you. Im wondering if you have any data around the effectiveness of annual employee meetings and/or CEO Town Hall style meetings? Thank you! Brandon Carter Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Lisa. I can't find much information regarding those types of meetings specifically. There's a ton of info about meetings in general, what makes a good one, how much time is wasted in them, etc. But there's a definite need for some info on companywide meetings. I'll keep an eye out. The closest info I could find was from way back in 2004 from Maritz Travel: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20040311005674/en/Maritz-TravelMeetings-Meaningless-Employees-Maritz-Travel debora mclaughlin Great data that you. I'm also tracking culture and innovation so if you have anything on that. Brandon Carter Thanks for commenting! We're always looking for the elements that impact engagement, and when we find them we'll add them for sure. Jason Sky how many new programs are employees introduced to yearly? Brandon Carter Do you mean benefits programs? Discount programs? Alicia This is a great list! Anything similar regarding recruitment/TA and candidate engagement? I'd be very interested! Brandon Carter Thanks for the compliment! There are some stats mixed in about what people look for in a company, but not so much about engagement in the recruiting process. We'll keep an eye out for them. We're also looking into sorting these out a bit more clearly, so its possible that we'll give recruiting a section of its own once we compile enough data. Aaron Ramsey Hey, I know you definitely get a ton of emails of emails looking for your feedback, so I'll keep this super short. I came across Access Perks today - Excellent work on putting together a resource job seekers can actually use! I was going through the resources you mentioned and noticed After College on this page http://blog.accessperks.com/employee-engagement-loyalty-statistics-theultimate-collection. I really appreciated that resource as well! In fact, it was one that inspired me to create a more thorough and up to date version. Would love to share it with you if you're interested - do you mind if I send you the link? Cheers, Aaron Aaron Ramsey Editor of www.EApplicants.com (954) 540-1858 E-Applicants We'll Help You Find Employment Online Brandon Carter Hi Aaron, thanks for commenting. You're welcome to share the resource, and we'll be happy to cite any new data you have within it. Jocelyn Reese Statistics! I so love statistics. It’s the easiest way to interpret data. I am planning to conduct an employee engagement survey and would like some suggestions on which online survey tool to opt for. One of my friends conducted a survey using SoGoSurvey and was recommending the same too. What do you think about this tool? Brandon Carter Thanks for commenting, Jocelyn. I haven't used that tool personally, but it appears to be very good. We use SurveyMonkey for most of our surveys, but that's hardly the only option out there. I'd be interested to hear if you have an exceptional experience one way or another. Kwame Charles Great stats, Brandon & co. Found your article on TLNT blog. Where would I find the stats under "Employee Engagement is a Competitive Advantage" in your TLNT article? Brandon Carter Hi Kwame, thanks for stopping by! Most of those stats are sprinkled throughout this page (I'm working on a cleaner re-organization that should be rolled out soon). You may also want to check out our general customer loyalty and engagement stats page, which has a few other data points on this topic as well: http://blog.accessdevelopment.com/index.php/2013/11/the-ultimate-collectionof-loyalty-statistics Mark Arnold I once read that employees spend 70% of their workday thinking/worrying about their children but can't find that stat or one similiar. Can you provide a statistic on this question? Brandon Carter Hi Mark, thanks for stopping by! After a few minutes of digging, this is the closest I could find http://www.brighthorizons.com/about-us/press-releases/working-parents-fear-familyresponsibilities-could-cost-their-job You probably saw that one as well. This one also touches on some similar issues: http://www.workingmomsbreak.com/2011/06/20/survey-working-parentshealth-problems/ I'll keep an eye out for the specific stat you referenced, and will add it if I can find it. Catherine Pruitt Do you have any statistics specific to older professionals getting back into the workforce? It seems that HR managers have the opinion that if you are over 50 and are hired you are going to be a "know it all", unchallenged which will make the person "job hop" (as if there are jobs for those of us!:), and/or be unmotivated due to less compensation than what you were making previously. I would like to see some statistics either confirming or refuting these assumptions. Thanks!! Brandon Carter Thanks for commenting, Catherine! Deep in here are a few stats about older workers, but mostly around retaining them. *45% of HR professionals say it is easy/extremely easy to retain older workers *Among HR professionals who claim difficulty in retaining older workers, 47% cite work location inflexibility as the biggest challenge, 45% cite career inflexibility, 44% cite work hours inflexibility *4% of organizations have a strategy for retaining older workers *40% of employees planning to work past 70 feel they are stuck in their jobs, compared with just a quarter of those who expect to retire at 65 (28%) or before 65 (27%) Right now there's a lot of data coming out around Boomers, who basically count for "older" workers in the current workplace. Some of these stats show their tendency to stick with employers, especially compared to the younger counterparts: *50% of Millennial employees rarely think about leaving their organization to work somewhere else, compared to 54% of Gen Xers and 63% of Baby Boomers *42% of Millennials are looking for jobs with other companies, along with 38% of Gen X and 22% of Boomers *25% of Millennials intend to stay at their organization for a year or less, compared to 13% of Boomers and Gen X *Millennials are roughly two times more likely to leave a job after two years, 1.5 times more likely after five years and half as likely to stay after 10 years, compared to Generation X and Baby Boomer respondents *When asked the question, "Is job hopping losing its stigma?" 57% of Milennials say yes, compared to 38% of GenX, and 22% of Boomers *25% of Millennials believe that staying at a job for seven months indicates they're loyal; Boomers believe that number is five years *55% of Baby Boomers say that they are willing to work longer hours than other generations *41% of baby boomers say opportunities to learn and grow are extremely important to them when applying for a job There isn't a ton about compensation and pay among Boomers, but there's plenty of data showing their preference to settle in at one place - something that's fading quickly with each successive generation. Hope that helps. Thanks again! Qubit Labs Hi Brandon, thanks for impressive data you've collected! I suppose the majority of small business owners don't even have time to see these figures, not even talking about implementing them into their business strategy. It looks like such influencers like Google or Facebook made it fashionable to care about employees, before them nobody really paid attention to such things as boosting worker's interest to do his/her job. Brandon Carter I think there are companies who have been very good to employees for a long time, but the Silicon Valley companies definitely have increased the stakes as talent has become more difficult to acquire, particularly coding and other hi-tech roles. It's definitely tough for a small business to compete - BUT there are lots of studies showing that employees really care more about culture than perks, by and large. So they can still compete! Mari McGowan Brandon, Great collection of stats. You should look at the turnover numbers for professional truck drivers. Long haul trucking is above 80% and at times has been more than 100% Brandon Carter Thanks Mari! We know the trucking industry pretty well and have several clients there. Lots of companies trying hard to retain their drivers. Do you have a link to any surveys or data that I can tie the stats back to? Thanks! Marc Aaron Goldbach The "Employee Retention & Engagement Statistics" you share in your post is very important not only for current employers at the same time for people who are planning to start the business. Employees can learn also to those data. As employer, it is very important to me what my employee feels about their job. Many pointers you shared here that truly helpful and effective to run a company. Katy Kilner Hello. Do you have a source for the statistic on innovation please: "78% of employees who say their company encourages creativity and innovation are committed to their employer"? I can't see the original source of this statistic to link to. Thank you. Katy Brandon Carter Whoops! Good catch. That one belongs to Reportlinker https://www.reportlinker.com/insight/office-perks.html Tabitha Wow, what a great list - definitely a lot to take in and work with here. Can gather an incredibly detailed picture of the current landscape from this information, thanks! Jennifer Berland This is truly the bible of all stats related to engagement. Do you have any other pages similar to this one? Brandon Carter Haha thanks Jennifer! We obviously blog about the topic all the time. We also maintain a bunch of other stats pages: Employee Benefits https://blog.accessperks.com/employee-benefits-perksstatistics Millennial employee engagement https://blog.accessperks.com/millennial-employeeengagement-loyalty-statistics-the-ultimate-collection Customer Loyalty / Engagement https://blog.accessdevelopment.com/the-ultimate-collection-of-loyalty-statistics Coupons https://blog.accessdevelopment.com/ultimate-collection-coupon-statistics Many of those collections also have year-specific collections as well.
