Dear HR Managers and Business Owners,

Employee engagement continues to be a hot topic across Canada. One study conducted by WarrenShepell and Canadian HR Reporter, surveyed more than 300 organizational leaders across Canada. There were strong links between the presence of seven top job and workplace factors and positive employee mental health, a lower rate of turnover, and satisfaction.

The following list shows the top 7 factors and the relative presence of each factor:

1. Trust senior management - 37%
2. Asked for their ideas and opinions on important matters - under 50%
3. Clearly understand the organization's vision and strategic direction - 33%
4. Trust their supervisors - 42%
5. Receive recognition and praise for good work - under 50%
6. Have a clear say in decisions that affect their work - 34%
7. Perceive their supervisors as caring and considerate of their well-being - 45%

Cheers,
