Increase Employee Engagement

Organizations that capture the hearts and minds of employees and leverage their potential are successful in delivering an exceptional customer experience and achieving business growth.

Engaged employees are knowledgeable, productive and supportive; they are proactive in the way they serve customers, they anticipate needs and serve as brand advocates. And they stay in jobs longer. Unfortunately, these exceptional workers are becoming rare and sought after.

Recent findings indicate that one-quarter of all US employees are “just showing up to collect a paycheck”¹ and that two-thirds don’t feel motivated to drive their employers’ business goals.”² Furthermore, just as consumers use brands as their basis for choosing products and services, employees often use brands to decide their future employer. Employees who experience ‘brand pride’ reinforce brand strength through greater overall engagement in their jobs. In fact, the most committed employees perform 20% better and are 87% less likely to leave their company.³

Companies need employees whose values, talents and commitments parallel their own. When they’re engaged, employees contribute more to business success. And when they’re not engaged? All is not lost. Employees can reconnect. A recent study showed a 59% increase in effort after implementing employee engagement initiatives.⁴
