Sustaining Productivity and Engagement in an Economic Downturn

• Philadelphia Human Resources Planning Society

As corporate executives are struggling with the impact of the global economic downturn on their businesses, we learn from the Corporate Executive Board that employee morale and commitment across America is declining dramatically. Just when corporate leaders need employees to be as productive as possible, research shows that three key factors are working against it:

* Employee performance is declining.
* High Potentials are testing their options while disengaged employees are intent on remaining.
* Among senior leaders, on whom we should rely to reverse this trend, engagement and commitment has dropped by over 50% in two years.
