How to use big data to boost employee engagement
Fewer than one-third of U.S. employees are engaged at work, yet that’s the highest the engagement rate has been in more than a decade. This author explains how big data can help.
Study after study shows the problems of a disengaged workforce: dwindling employee morale and the hefty price that organizations pay for lost productivity.
Unfortunately, employee engagement is low and has been for a long time. According to Gallup, fewer than one-third of U.S. workers were engaged in their jobs in 2014. Still, that is the “highest reading since 2000.”

Big data has already demonstrated its importance in solving a host of business problems. From increased customer intelligence and lead generation to helping form and drive better business strategies, big data has a widespread impact on modern business.
