Organizations can directly impact engagement within their organization by developing managers and leaders.

Gallup found that leaders that score in the top half of their org in employee engagement have nearly double the odds of success (based on a composite of financial, customer, retention, safety, quality, shrinkage, and absenteeism metrics) when compared with those in the bottom half. Employee engagement affects nine performance outcomes, including productivity, profitability, turnover, safety incidents and quality.
