Introduction
The National Employee Engagement Report is a reflection of the state of the Zimbabwean Workplace in relation to Employee Engagement. This data is based on over 1900 Zimbabwean employees. The report provides an interesting view of the level and views of engaged employees in Zimbabwe.
This includes findings such as:
- Employee engagement in Zimbabwe has remained stagnant at an index of 72% in 2019 (2018 was also 72%), which is especially surprising given the prevailing socio-economic situation.
- The results show that 7 in 10 Zimbabwean employees are engaged.
- When the results are divided into segments most of the Zimbabwean employees (41%) are found to be Aligned Skeptics.
- Only 25% of Zimbabwean employees are Value Creators.
- Surprisingly employee engagement shows no significant relationship with the poverty datum line and the average inflation rate.
- Employee engagement is however significantly correlated with the GDP per capita, explaining almost half (41.2%) of the variation in the level of employee engagement.
- The dimensions which showed the highest levels of engagement were:
- Strategic direction
- Relationship with work colleagues
- Satisfaction with supervision given by the employees' immediate supervisor.
- The dimensions which showed the lowest level of engagement were remuneration and intention to stay.
- The most likely employee to leave an organisation in Zimbabwe are 40 years old and below with an average of at least 3 years' experience
