Workplace Data and Why Workplaces Choose CFCC
Moving from a Crisis of Leadership to the Privilege of Leadership & Creating Communities of Care
A Gallup poll found that only 18% of managers demonstrate a high level of talent for managing others – meaning a shocking 82% of managers aren’t very good at leading people.
Part of the problem is that we never take the time to train people as leaders in the human side of the business. Managers are mostly promoted into their roles based on tenure or success with completing tasks. Promoting based on these qualities is unlikely to produce leaders who are good for employees or long-term organizational performance. We need to shift our focus to whether they possess the humanistic skills and qualities of good leadership.
Workplace Toxicity: A Need for Change
A crisis in the fundamental skills of leadership creates toxic workplaces. One in two employees, at some point in their career, leave their job to get away from their manager – solely to improve their overall lives. Think about this fact for a moment: 50% of employees leave their jobs at some point because due to a fundamental lack of quality leadership and its adverse effects.
Beyond the Workplace
Individuals who are engaged in positive experiences at work, and who share those experiences with significant others, perceive themselves as better able to deal with issues at home, become better companions and more effective overall in the home environment. Workplace leadership impacts all aspects of our lives. Our foundational courses look at the skills taught in the training through the lenses of leadership, parenting, and committed relationships. When we lead with a holistic approach to leadership, we create healthier teams and enhance relationships in and outside of the workplace.
To Improve Your Workplace, First Work on Yourself

The Data
| 85% of Employees Are Not Engaged in the Workplace |
This means that the majority of the workforce worldwide is either viewing their workplace negatively or only doing the bare minimum to make it through the day, with little to no emotional attachment. 73% of employees are considering leaving their jobs. To stay on the job, employees need to have relationships with their co-workers, and the work-life needs to be balanced with their personal life. |
| Low Employee Engagement Costs Companies $450-500 Billion Each Year |
Disengaged workers take less responsibility and ownership of their attitude, behavior, and motivation and drain overall productivity. |
| Companies with a Highly Engaged Workforce Are 21% More Profitable |
According to Gallup, businesses that scored the highest on employee engagement showed 21% higher levels of profitability. Companies with a highly engaged workforce also scored 17% higher on productivity. Effective communication leads to more productive employees and, through this, to a more profitable workplace. However, we’re not there yet: a recent Interact/Harris Poll shows that 91% of the surveyed employees think that their leaders lack communication skills. What’s more, almost 1 in 3 employees don’t trust their employers, according to the Edelman Trust Barometer. That’s pretty alarming, isn’t it? |
| Good Company Culture Increases Revenue by 4X |
Company culture and employee engagement go hand in hand, and a business focusing on employee engagement and improving its company will enjoy the benefits of increased revenue, increased productivity, and increased employee engagement. Forty-seven percent of people actively looking for a new job pinpoint company culture as the main reason for wanting to leave, so if you want to improve both employee retention and profitability, improving company culture should be one of your business priorities. |
