Employee Engagement

Employee engagement is about creating an environment where people can enjoy doing their best work and feel informed and involved in helping the business to meet its objectives and grow.

Poor engagement prevents employees from performing at their best. They can become uninspired and apathetic, contributing to weak customer service, increased absenteeism and plummeting productivity, all of which stunts growth.

Whereas business with highly-engaged employees realise a 41% reduction in absenteeism, 59% less staff turnover and 21% greater profitability (1). That’s because they:

● Enjoy the work they do

● Believe in the leadership

● Strive to achieve their full potential

● Serve customers exceptionally

● Embrace change with enthusiasm

● Contribute their thoughts and ideas

Are these behaviours synonymous with your people? If the answer is no, you’re not alone.

£26 billion. That’s how much effective employee engagement is worth to the UK economy. But we’re a long way off collecting that bounty.

The UK is suffering from an employee engagement deficit, according to a report from the Government backed Engage for Success Movement.

It found that only one in three workers feels engaged, putting the UK in ninth place out of the world's twelve largest economies for engagement.

Be a business that leads the way

Lots of companies think of employee engagement as an ‘HR add on’. When really, it should be deeply rooted in everything your business does.

Your people should know exactly what it means to work for you. They need a ‘voice’ so that their contributions can be heard and implemented because, after all, they are the ones with first-hand experience of what’s working best - and what isn’t.

But listening isn’t just about taking ideas on board. It’s about treating people with respect and acknowledging them as valued stakeholders in all that you achieve.

No survey or software will magically turn your employees into advocates overnight.

It takes effort, strategic focus and commitment by the leadership to allow free-flowing communication, confidence in decision making and to cultivate an overall sense that everyone is working towards the same goal.
