Workforce Experience.
Let’s talk about how Cisco can help you engage your quad-generational workforce.
Today’s workforce is not engaged. Based on a survey done by Gallup across 142 countries, on average 68 to 87% of employees in an organization are either disengaged or actively dis-engaged. Disengaged employees are the ones that come into to work to “collect a paycheck.” They do not go the extra mile to get stuff done. Actively dis-engaged employees are those that have an actively negative attitude. They can bring the morale down by spreading discontent.
http://www.gallup.com/services/178514/state-american-workplace.aspx
Engaged: Inspired at work; Emotionally invested; Focused on creating value every day. Likely has a great boss.
Disengaged: Present. But likely “just collecting a paycheck”. Doesn’t go out of his/her way. Not inspired by work or managers. Essentially "checked out." They sleepwalk through their workday and put time -- but not energy or passion -- into their work. These employees are less destructive and disruptive than actively disengaged employees, but they are not helping their organizations grow.
Actively Disengaged: Negative. Potentially hostile. Roams the hall spreading discontent. Likely to have a boss from hell that makes him/her miserable.
Since the late 1990s, Gallup has administered the Q12 Survey to more than 25 million employees In 195 different countries and 70 languages.
Gallup: “State of the American Workplace Report 2013” report:
Gallup research also shows that these managers from hell are creating active disengagement costing the U.S. an estimated $450 billion to $550 billion annually. If your company reflects the average in the U.S., just imagine what poor management and disengagement are costing your bottom line.
Of the approximately 100 million people in America who hold full-time jobs, 30 million (30%) are engaged and inspired at work, so we can assume they have a great boss. At the other end of the spectrum are roughly 20 million (20%) employees who are actively disengaged. These employees, who have bosses from hell that make them miserable, roam the halls spreading discontent. The other 50 million (50%) American workers are not engaged. They’re just kind of present, but not inspired by their work or their managers.
Organizations with an average of 9.3 engaged employees for every actively disengaged employee in 2010-2011 experienced 147% higher earnings per share (EPS) compared with their competition in 2011-2012. In contrast, those with an average of 2.6 engaged employees for every actively disengaged employee experienced 2% lower EPS compared with their competition during that same time period.
Gallup “State of the Global Workplace 2013” report:
Currently, 13% of employees across 142 countries worldwide are engaged in their jobs — that is, they are emotionally invested in and focused on creating value for their organizations every day. As in Gallup’s 2009- 2010 global study of employee engagement, actively disengaged workers — i.e., those who are negative and potentially hostile to their organizations — continue to outnumber engaged employees at a rate of nearly 2-1.
Overall, among the 142 countries included in the current Gallup study, 13% of employees are engaged in their jobs, while 63% are not engaged and 24% are actively disengaged. However, these results vary substantially among different global regions.
Active disengagement is an immense drain on economies throughout the world. Gallup estimates, for example, that for the U.S., active disengagement costs US$450 billion to $550 billion per year. In Germany, that figure ranges from €112 billion to €138 billion per year (US$151 billion to $186 billion). In the United Kingdom, actively disengaged employees cost the country between £52 billion and £70 billion (US$83 billion and $112 billion) per year.
East Asia has the lowest proportion of engaged employees in the world, at 6%, which is less than half of the global mean of 13%. The regional finding is driven predominantly by results from China, where 6% of employees are engaged in their jobs — one of the lowest figures worldwide.
In Australia and New Zealand, 24% of employees are engaged, while 60% are not engaged and 16% are actively disengaged. The resulting ratio of engaged to actively disengaged employees — 1.5-to-1 — is one of the highest among all global regions and similar to results from the U.S. and Canada (1.6-to-1).
Gallup found the highest levels of active disengagement in the world in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, particularly in Tunisia (54%),Algeria (53%), and Syria (45%). The region’s high unemployment rates may be a factor in these results, causing many disengaged workers to remain in their jobs despite their unhappiness at work.
Despite the country’s strong economic growth, only 8% of Indonesian employees are engaged in their jobs, while 15% are actively disengaged. By contrast, employees in the Philippines — another fast-growing economy in Southeast Asia — had the highest level of engagement in the region at 29%, with only 8% actively disengaged.
Since the late 1990s, Gallup has administered the Q12 Survey to more than 25 million employees In 195 different countries and 70 languages.

http://www.gallup.com/services/178514/state-american-workplace.aspx
And, this dis-engagement is expensive! Each dis-engaged employee costs $3,400 for every $10,000 in salary. So, if an organization has $100 million in salary budget, one third of that could be going to waste because of dis-engagement. And just in the US alone, active dis-engagement costs the economy half a trillion dollars! Think about <insert organization name>. Are you paying your employees to undermine your company’s goals?

On the other hand, if you can engage employees, there are positive effects on business results! Companies where an overwhelming majority of employees are engaged can have 1.5x higher EPS. That’s because engaged employees drive higher profitability, higher productivity, fewer safety incidents and lower turnover.

In some industries, the workforce is aging and they’re having trouble recruiting younger talent. Manufacturing, for instance, 35% are set to retire in 5 years, which will leave a huge gap. Some companies are developing creative programs to allow older people to retire but stay on as remote contractors. Others are looking to digitization to automate as many processes as they can.
And, employee engagement factors vary by generation – in fact, a typical enterprise now has 4 distinct generations. Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials and Generation Z. Each of these generations has its own motivations, values and work styles! Management needs to personalize its approach to each generation to engage them better.
Millennials (~90 million)
Gen X (93 million)
Baby Boomers (66 million)
Generation Z: tend to be project based. Doesn't know a world without sleek laptops, smartphones, and the ability to connect with people via online communities… GenZ-ers are tech-savvy, vocal, and adaptable. But all that time online means they struggle to develop strong interpersonal skills, use appropriate body language, and understand privacy. As a whole, they're noticeably different from previous generations and they're bound to drive changes in corporate culture on an even greater scale than the Millennials did. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/erica-dhawan/start-prepping-now-genera_b_7056562.html)

Millennials operate in horizontal – not vertical – structures. Raised to believe their viewpoints matter equally. (http://colleendilen.com/2014/03/26/five-things-i-have-learned-as-a-millennial-working-with-baby-boomers/)
And, their mix is changing. For example, millennials are 1/5th of the employee population today, but are expected to be 1/3rd of the population in just 5 years. Companies have to make sure they are addressing the needs of each generation.
75% of the workforce is expected to be Millennials by 2025.
50% of workforce stat: http://singularityhub.com/2015/03/25/on-demand-employment-how-todays-workers-are-choosing-journeys-over-jobs/
Digitization of companies, industries, and governments is leading to technology playing a leading role in creation of new business value.
For example, under utilized fixed assets are being put to better use – such as private cars as Uber taxis or private homes as AirBnB Hotels.
To summarize, the markets forces impacting workforce experience are three fold:
#1 – employee disengagement costs are high!
#2 – most global enterprises have or will soon have a quad-generational workforce each with their own motivations, values and work styles.
#3 – Digitization & Social trends are challenging organizations.
Enterprises need to address these challenges to attract and retain top talent. They can do that by:
Improving employee engagement
Optimizing the work environment, &
Enabling a Mobile workforce
Cisco can help you attract and retain the quad-generational workforce with a better workforce experience. We do this through three business offers:
#1 Transform the workplace
#2 Enable a digital workforce
#3 Deliver Flawless & Effective Meetings
You can think about it as workplace, workforce, and connecting the two through effective meetings.
Let me bring this to life through a few use cases. The first set of use cases are around how Cisco can help deliver superior employee engagement.
By 2020, 20% of organizations will include employee engagement improvement as a shared performance objective for HR and IT groups . Gartner 1-Nov-14
Let’s say you have implemented flexible workspaces in your company. At the start of the day, an employee can use his smart device to reserve a flexible workspace for the day. He can then get directions to that workspace. Once he is in the room, based on products like Smart + Connected Spaces, we can automatically personalize the room settings such as light, and temperature. It can also personalize the settings of IP Phone and Personal TelePresence. So, employees can simply find and personalize the workspaces.

For workplace analytics, you can collect data by building, by floor, and by team. You can use this data to determine occupancy & utilization, dwell times and more. You can use this data to understand and optimize real estate utilization. Real estate is typically the second biggest expense in a corporation after people capital. Therefore, understanding and optimizing real estate utilization can lead to significant benefits in a corporation.
With Cisco solutions, you can setup the infrastructure so that your employees can securely access context based information and resources when they are on the move, as well as from the workplace, and from any device – a laptop, tablet or smartphone. This not only creates an elegant experience, but also helps improve workforce productivity.
In 2012, 37% of employees worked from a public work site (e.g., coffee shop, library, or possibly a cowork space). Younger employees are three times more likely to work from a public space than their older colleagues. Box: Forrester, “Enable Workplaces of the Future, Now”, May 2013 May-13
Another example of enabling a mobile workforce is for insurance claims. Let’s say a client was in a car accident. When the agent visits the client. He can connect with experts and do a real-time consultation. He can display video and photographic footage. This leads to faster claims processing.

Another example of enabling a mobile workforce has to do with providing interactive support in the field. In the same accident, the agent can also conference in third parties such as body shop or roadside assistance. He can share web pages and links and even guide the third party to fill out the web form by sharing screens. This streamlines processes and decision quality.

With Cisco Collaboration technologies and Cisco network infrastructure, you can enable your employees to work where and when life requires. For example, employees can work from home during rush hour, and commute during off hours. This saves them time and money. It also reduces stress and increases employee satisfaction.
