"but a happy satisfied Manager driving results through a satisfied team"
What is the engagement score on your team? Higher than the firmwide 34%? WHy do you think so? Because your employees tell you so?
The remaining 66% of the employee population is disengaged, and it is their fault and not the fault of "leadership"? They should all just leave?
Do you really think that would be good for the business if the 66% of employees who are unhappy with Hewitt just left?
What do you really think would happen to Hewitt's ability to deliver for clients if 66% of the employees left? Would that be good for business?
Wouldn't a MEANINGFUL plan to address employee dissatisfaction be a much better idea?

Management has no real, tangible solution to the low engagement problem! Their credibility is so low with 66% of the firm's associates that almost nothing they do would be taken seriously. So, with no solution, trust, or credibility, they choose to blame the victim. Kind of like saying a rape victim was "asking for it" and actually "liked it". We're really engaged, but we're just too whinny and spoiled to realize it. It burns them up to read negative things about Hewitt on a public message board, so they feel compelled to respond to every negative post with drivel such as "if you don't like it, then leave!!", or "get on board or get out!!", or some other pointless conformist garbage.
They would rather have 66% of the firm's employees leave than to have to address the engagement problem directly. Addressing the engagement problem would involve people skills, creativity, and honesty - something these clowns clearly don't possess. So, they fall back on the "love it or leave it" argument. They probably also think, in their infinite wisdom, that Hewitt could operate with a small group of executive and top managers in the US (probably a group of about 12-20 people), while the rest of the firm's operations were running in India. Now that's serving our clients!!
I don't know which of us is wasting more time - those of us who spend some leisure time from home to vent some frustration on this board, or those that have such blind undying loyalty to Hewitt that they spend every waking moment responding to negative posts as if their efforts really mattered.
