The overall success of a business is down to great employee engagement. Employee engagement indicates how happy/content employees are in their jobs. It goes beyond activities, games, and events. Engaged employees see the whole company and understands their purpose/vision. They also know exactly where and how they fit in.
So what exactly is the recipe to success? Well there are many different component parts, but at the centre of everything is LOVE. Yes employees love to feel LOVED and valued. This starts from the very moment they first step into the business. How they are inducted and introduced to other members of the team. What training given on the job. How much they are encouraged to grow within their role and what opportunities are there for the future.
When a company has employees who are engaged appropriately, they achieve:
- High levels of productivity
- Better retention rates
- Improved decision making
- Increased sense of health and well-being
- Boost to their bottom line profits
Having ‘engaged employees’ leads to a great company culture, which can be a powerful way of transforming an organisation.
Employers should make sure their employees feel:
- That their work is meaningful and makes a difference
- They are valued, trusted, and respected
- Comfortable, secure and self-confident
Top companies know that an effective engagement strategy and a highly engaged workforce, is more likely to retain top performers and attract new talent. Ultimately this demonstration of LOVE leads to a more successful business!
