Do you currently survey your workforce to determine their attitudes towards you and their work?

Do you arrange team building days or have an awards scheme? These are just a few examples of initiatives which help your staff to feel more ‘engaged’ with their place of work.

An “engaged employee” is one who is fully absorbed by and enthusiastic about their work and so takes positive action to further the organisation’s reputation and interests.

Your workforce are your greatest assets within your organisation. We are are in an era of work life balance, family oriented work styles and employees being part of a wider management team.

By Investing in your employees, you will gain a better work performance, better productivity and better attraction of quality employees leading to increased ROI. However, that does not mean spending more money! There is definitely more to employee engagement than giving a pay rise.

Yes, if you’ve had problems in the past with people starting but not reaching their full potential by being unhappy, because their needs have not been addressed.
