Embracing employee engagement
Employee engagement describes the level of enthusiasm and dedication a worker feels toward their job. Engagement is often measured on the employee’s contribution to the company and how satisfied a worker feels with their job role.
An engaged employee cares about their work and about the performance of the company; a disengaged employee will feel unenthusiastic and demotivated, which is detrimental to business if the worker no longer ‘gives their all’.
Benefits of good employee engagement
- better employee retention rates
- higher productivity
- lower absenteeism
- increased productivity
- stronger employee brand
How do you encourage employee engagement, take advantage of the benefits and avoid the issues of a demotivated and unenthusiastic workforce?
Many factors contribute to good employee engagement and People Business is on hand to help you identify areas for improvement and implement changes.
What our clients say about us
Punam Owens, Executive of Quality Operations, MSD
“People Business successfully understood the need and were able to build a bespoke programme which was then delivered across the organisation. The personal, small group approach really allowed for rich and robust discussions around change, change leadership, impact of change and how to navigate change.
The agility of People Business is excellent. They were able to check in at key timepoints and pivot/adjust based on real time feedback to ensure that the potential of the programme outcomes was achieved. The use of Typecoach has created a “common language” across the group; the system’s data-based approach really resonated with the team, creating many “aha” moments and insights.
We are seeing positive changes in recent employee pulse survey and more importantly in day-to-day interactions and collaborative dialogue between associates, where Typecoach is often a conversation starter. The program has enabled the organisation with tools and foundational insights upon which we can continue to build, thus building sustainability versus a one-time initiative.”
