Keep your employees engaged and excited
Developing your employees is still paramount, even in an economic
crunch! To remain competitive in today's knowledge-driven economy,
you need a robust and developed workforce. Employee development is
a cornerstone of building employee engagement.
Employee engagement is a measure of an employee's discretionary effort
at work. In other words, when engaged employees have a choice, they
will act in a way that furthers the organization's interests.
This is a
goal that most organizations have, yet according to Gallup Poll data only
29% of workers feel energized and engaged in their work.
Isn't it better to work at a place where everyone is excited about being
there, where they create energy and opportunities around them and are truly
plugged into the corporate mission?
Staying focused on employee engagement makes solid business sense. Towers-Perrin
did a global study over a 3-year period to find that highly-engaged companies
had 5.8% higher operating margin and 3.4% higher net profit. * The Gallup
Organization surveyed over 300 stores within a company to find the stores
with high engagement levels averaged 44% higher profit. **
