IT Employees relatively scores less in all the aspects in comparison to the non-IT counterparts, reveals the latest report titled The State Of Employee Engagement In Tech.

The report, based on the survey conducted by TINYpulse, states that poor coworker relationship is attributed to job dissatisfaction especially; in the IT industry only 47% claims to have a strong bonding with their teammates whereas the non-IT sector the number springs to 56%.

New York Times writes that the company is utilizing their White Collar employees to the fullest to accomplish their ever flourishing ambitions.

Employee Engagement and Culture

Employee engagement is the stirred debate of the hour. With the changing trend the employee engagement no more remains to be the topic of HR rather it is been the liability of the management. 87% of the organizations quote Culture and Engagement as one of the top challenges, while 50% of them term the difficulty to be “very important,” as per the Employee Engagement Culture Human Capital Trends 2015 by Dupress. On the other side, meager 19% IT employees responded positively when asked about how happy they were with the jobs once again by the TINYpulse survey while the percentage rise to 22% when it comes to non-IT employees. Clearly, the figure depicts the lower engagement as job satisfaction and happiness at the workplace drive employee engagement.

Alarmingly, very few IT employees are aware of the purpose of the work or the vision and mission of the company. When pronouncing the actual terms, only 28% of the IT employees are aware of the mission, vision and culture statements of their company, the TINYpulse report exposes. The company culture, on the whole, speaks about the process and customer engagement. With most of the employees remain unaware and the majority of them disagree with the values owing to incompatibility with their personal values the whole process appears to be haphazard indeed resulting in chaos.

The TINYPulse report also highlights that 36% of IT employees find themselves to be trapped without any career growth compared to 50% of the non-IT employees who have clear visibility on their career path. This is been one of the prime potential causes of dissatisfaction among IT employees in their workspace. Evidently, the Randstad’s 2015 Employer Branding Survey reveals that 26% of the employees leave the job due to the unclear career path and growth opportunities.
