Executives today know that employee
engagement can make the difference between
outstanding business performance and mediocrity.
According to a June 2011 research report from Accenture* companies with engaged workforces outperform peers with low engagement by a margin of 12 percentage points in return on assets and 11 percentage points in profitability.
And countless studies have shown that engaged employees are more productive, more sharply focused on customers and more likely to stay with their organization than their disengaged counterparts.
When employees are highly engaged, they invest a lot of energy in their work – physical, mental and emotional energy. They become so deeply absorbed in their jobs that they find it hard to pull themselves away. They find new ways to contribute to their team’s and their organization’s success. They go beyond what is typically expected or required, eagerly embracing their company’s business goals and striving to overcome any challenges that confront them along the way. (Sounds as if I could be describing you!)
Every CEO and HR Director cares deeply about these kinds of results, but the real challenge is fostering and then sustaining engagement within an organization.
A lot has been written about what organisations must do to engage their employees. “Create real meaning not just mission statements.” “Give employees the support that they need.” “Cultivate a culture of trust and respect.” I could go on and on! But very little has been said about how you can actually achieve it.
Up until now it has been difficult and incredibly time consuming to find ways of improving levels of employee engagement in an organisation but new ways of working combined with new technologies now make it easier and faster to achieve than ever before.
We have a process which involves our Wiki-LabsTM web 2.0 environment that achieves just that –Better, Faster, and Smarter Employee Engagement. If you want to find out more give us a call.
