Innovating with People

• For most organisations, the cost of paying employees is one of the top three expenses, if not the top expense. As a result, ensuring your people are giving you a return on your investment is as important as ensuring you get the most out of your social media and marketing budget.

• Speaking of marketing... are your employees walking billboards for your organisation? Do they know the elevator pitch? Do they know your sales/revenue targets and how in their role capacity they can contribute to these outcomes? If you answered no to any of these, you are wasting a key resource and lacking employee engagement.

 

Employee Engagement

• Engaged employees feel part of the organisation and can see what their contributions achieve each day.

• Employees who don't just think of it as a job are more likely to give discretionary effort, provide better customer service, reduce waste, share ideas and stay.

• Organisations can more effectively engage their people so they are happier, healthier and more productive by:

  • Developing a feedback culture, using the Feedback 5 methodology

  • Recognising and rewarding positive behaviours

  • Setting business goals in consultation with your team

  • Consulting your team about their health and safety - physical and psychological

  • Opportunities for a career path and/or personal and professional development.
