Employees who feel supported in their jobs and who are invested in their work tend to be both more productive and more profitable for their companies.
That’s according to a recent study from Canadian consulting firm Towers Watson.
The 2012 Towers Watson Global Workforce Study surveyed 32,000 employees from 29 different markets worldwide. The goal of the study was to determine the impact of economic downturn, political turmoil, financial pressures and increased global competition on employee engagement—and how that engagement influences job performance.
