EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Engaged employees feel connected to the role and the business on a physical, cognitive, and emotional level. This contributes to increased job satisfaction, loyalty, and a genuine interest in the success of the business.

It makes sense then, that taking steps to improve employee engagement will have a myriad of benefits.

There are a few different factors that feed into engagement. We like to keep things simple and through our experience working with a wide range of businesses, we truly understand this what it takes to improve employee engagement.

Engagement is the ability for employees to be present, focused, and energised. But what it does is even more important. Engaged people go above and beyond what is expected of them because they feel part of a purpose larger than themselves.

Purpose is the foundation of engagement – it’s the vital element that makes an engaged business possible and the first step to creating an engaged and sustainable culture.

Why is employee engagement so important?

Research shows that there are strong links between employee engagement and positive business outcomes including better customer loyalty, increased profitability, and improved safety and performance, to name a few.

When there is a high level of engagement in the workforce, employees are enthusiastic and passionate about solving problems. They are connected intellectually and emotionally to the value they can bring to the business, team and customers – and this drives success!
