- Average three-year revenue growth for companies that effectively manage employee engagement was more than twice that of industry peers. (CLC-Genesee/ Corporate Executive Board, 2009)
- When managers are disengaged, their employees are over three times as likely to be disengaged and 33% more likely to be frustrated with the company. (Sirota, 'The Enthusiastic Employee,' 2009)
