By now, we’re all well aware of the dismal state of employee engagement. But here’s a little good news for the HR departments and executive leaders struggling to boost engagement levels: A new report has found that communication – particularly feedback from managers – may be the key to getting employees more engaged at work.

The report comes from Quantum Workplace, purveyor of employee engagement tools, and highlights include:

– 34 percent of organizations say communicating HR initiatives company-wide is their biggest challenge.

– Emails from leadership is the top communication strategy used by 79.3 percent of organizations, followed by all-company meetings (76 percent) and manager and employee one-on-ones (75.3 percent).

– Only 13 percent of employees receive monthly or quarterly progress updates.

– Employees whose managers follow up with them following an employee engagement survey are 12 times more likely to be engaged the following year.
