Does your company have employment engagement surveys?
?
? If it doesn’t then today this will be more about what you have personally experienced and a chance to provoke thought about what good looks like.
? If your company does then you’ll know that they show that the people experience can vary from team to team so you’ll be able to see how putting the right foundations in place will boost engagement.
?
In its ‘State of the Global Workplace Report 2023’ Gallup concluded that only 23% of employees are engaged at work – a record high and it’s an upward trend.? They also found that the majority of employees (59%) are ‘quiet quitting’ or doing the bare minimum.
?
I don’t know about you but that sounds a bit grim to me. ??
?
It seems like such a basic thing to get right especially when Gallup says that when employees are engaged you’ll find an:
?? Increase in productivity by 14%
?? Increase in customer rates by 10%
?? Increase in sales by 18%
?? Increase in profitability by 23%
?? Increase in organisational participation by 13%
?
I’m going to ask you some questions that if you manage people will provoke? thought and help you explore how to create the best foundations for an engaged team.
?
I’m a fan of looking at the neuroscience of engagement and based on this I am going to recommend that you look at 4 key areas upon which to optimise the people experience in your workplace and build a strong foundation for great employee engagement.?
