Why is employee engagement important? What is in it for me? What do I need to do to improve it? Will it really improve my business results?
In this newsletter we will give you insights into this important topic, explore what it means, and answer these questions. I hope to convince you that in fact employee engagement is critical to achieving success in your business and organization. When it is done right, it will have an amazingly positive impact on your life, the life of your stakeholders, your financial results, and your business success. Those that effectively engage their employees are the winners in the market place and maintain balance and perspective in their life.
Sound too good to be true? It’s not, but it does require a willingness to change, let go, lead differently, and will require a lot of hard work. But it can be done and many organizations have done it and are reaping the benefits every day.
We will also give you some pointers that you can implement immediately to improve employee engagement and positively impact business results.
Join me as we join Susan (a fictional business owner) as she dives in and explores the answers to these questions.
FEATURED CASE STUDY:
MID-WEST OPERATION OF A UK LISTED COMPANY
We were retained by a UK listed company to serve as the interim senior executive leader for one of their sites located in the US Mid-West. They needed an interim leader while they completed the search for a permanent replacement. This facility was experiencing issues with missed customer deliveries and unsatisfied customers. They were understaffed by 20% in a very tight labor market, workforce (both hourly and salaried) were unengaged, and there was a general feeling of “no end in sight”, “let’s just survive the day”. After four months with Lead Engage Agency:
-
- Increased production by 80%
- Achieved full staffing
- Maintained quality
- Prepared the organization for ASR audit, which they passed with no majors and minors.
- Everyone had clear goals and knew what they needed to do to achieve the goals.
- Turnaround in employee engagement throughout the organization.
- Celebration of successes on a regular basis.
