Twitter Reflection

This week on twitter it was interesting to see what new information I could find. One post that I came across was by Perla Jones, who shared a link to, "The Cold, Hard Truth About Employee Engagement". This article states several captivating statistics about the workplace, starting out with that only 48% of employees are happy at work. A large part of why people are not content at work is because they do not feel as though they have been recognized for their work progress, achievements, or given timely feedback. Another factor is that people feel like they do not fit in culturally, and 70% of employees say that they do not know their companies cultural value. This fact was among the most fascinating for me because many employers strive for a diverse workplace, yet, most of their workers do not the role that culture plays in the workplace. With this in mind people in general must become more culturally sensitive in this ever diverse world.
