KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 (Bernama) -- Only one-third of employees in the
Malaysian financial services sector envisage a long-term future with
their current employer and are strong advocates for their organisation,
according to a report by the Asian Institute of Finance (AIF).
In its report titled 'The 3Es of Talent Management', AIF said
employees that are highly engaged at work stood at only 33 per cent
while 45 per cent are moderately engaged, 16 per cent unmotivated and
six per cent highly disengaged.
The Engagement, Enrichment and Empowerment (3Es) of talent management
report, involving over 3,000 finance professionals across the financial
services industry, aimed at helping organisations understand ways to
enhance employee productivity and optimise organisational performance.
"The 3Es can provide a metric for understanding how effective an
organisation is in managing its employees and creating an environmental
culture that keeps employees motivated and productive.
"As the talent challenge intensifies, organisations need to rethink
their approach beyond the traditional ethos of focusing all efforts and
resources on employee satisfaction," said AIF Chief Executive Officer Dr
Raymund Madden in a statement today.
According to the report, there are four key drivers which
organisations should focus on to have an effective engagement programme
-- clarity of purpose and direction; leadership; pride and advocacy and
rewards.
"These drivers have a significant impact on the overall level of commitment and satisfaction of employees," it said.
The report highlights that the intrinsic aspects of work such as
opportunities for advancement, a sense of accomplishment and the
opportunity for employees to make full use of their skills and abilities
are important elements in any employee enrichment strategy.
