“68% of employees say their organisation is not doing enough to create a positive culture at work.”
Employee engagement is a workplace approach resulting in the right conditions for all members of an organisation to give of their best each day, committed to their organisation’s goals and values, motivated to contribute to organisational success, with an enhanced sense of their own well-being.
Employee engagement is based on trust, integrity, two way commitment and communication between an organisation and its members. It is an approach that increases the chances of business success, contributing to organisational and individual performance, productivity and well-being. It can be measured. It varies from poor to great. It can be nurtured and dramatically increased.
“A Columbia University study shows that the likelihood of job turnover at an organization with rich company culture is a mere 13.9 %, whereas the probability of job turnover in poor company cultures is 48.4 %.”
I think the employee engagement activities has to be embedded in everything you do – Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Group
What is engagement for employees?
Employee engagement is getting up on Monday morning thinking, “Thank goodness it’s Monday! I’m looking forward to seeing the team and helping them do great things today”.
What is engagement for employers?
- Employee engagement is about positive attitudes and behaviours leading to improved business outcomes, in a way that they trigger and reinforce one another.
- It is about employees feeling pride and loyalty working for their organisation, going the extra mile to finish a piece of work and drawing on your employees’ knowledge, innovation and ideas to improve your products and services.
- It is about drawing out a deeper commitment from your employees so fewer resign, sick absence reduces, conflicts and grievances go down and productivity increases.
