Chapter 2. The Ice Age. It's alive and well at work.

In this episode from Pamela Hackett's book Manage to Engage, our hosts discuss the pervasive issue of employee disengagement and its detrimental effects on workplace productivity and overall business success. The discussion emphasizes the contagious nature of emotions in the workplace, arguing that managers' attitudes significantly impact team morale and performance. Our hosts highlight the importance of addressing the root causes of disengagement, such as poor management practices, inadequate policies, and a lack of employee value recognition. Hackett proposes a framework, the MI-9 Scorecard, for evaluating and improving managerial effectiveness in fostering employee engagement. The ultimate goal is to cultivate a positive and productive work environment where employees are motivated and committed to the company's success.You can learn more in the book published by Wiley: If we don’t solve this icy issue now, we will not only have an employee engagement issue, we will have a long-lasting economic issue.
