Executive connectedness: unlocking the full potential of an executive’s impact

Our research demonstrates why executive connectedness is a worthwhile investment.

Across all industries, even the most seasoned leaders are struggling to align their people to purpose, keep their employees engaged, and compete for top talent.

What if there was one aspect of leadership that could efficiently and effectively address each of these areas? Now, there is.

We surveyed over 35,000 U.S. employees and determined that executive connectedness could be having a huge impact on every aspect of your business. When people are connected to the top leaders of your organization, they have:

  • 22% higher alignment with your organization’s purpose
  • 23% higher engagement
  • 18% higher likelihood to stay at your organization
