Employee Engagement: Simplification at Work

Published: April 22, 2015, 7 a.m.

The buzz: Engagement. Baylor University and SAP researchers found employee engagement alarmingly low worldwide, with just 13% of employees feeling actively engaged. Wondering if complexity in organizations could be a root cause, they explored whether simplification, engagement, and trust together contribute to better-functioning companies. The experts speak. Dr. Ann Mirabito, Baylor: \u201cEverything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler\u201d (Albert Einstein). Lauren Moser, Baylor: \u201cHell isn't merely paved with good intentions; it's walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too\u201d (Aldous Huxley). Josh Arnold, Baylor: \u201cGod help those with open hands, may they never feel burden again. Yeah I\u2019ll stand up for those that can\u2019t. I\u2019ll close the distance\u201d (A Day to Remember). Deb Stambaugh, SAP: \u201cTwo roads diverged in a wood, and I\u2014I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference\u201d (Robert Frost).
