Some clues to this question may be found in the 2012 Towers Watson Global Workforce Study, which surveyed 32,000 employees across 30 countries. It concluded that the main factor in driving employee engagement and performance is "a work environment that fully energizes employees by promoting their physical, emotional and social well-being."

Stay tuned for the results of the latest UM employee engagement survey and what they might mean for our community.
