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 team 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.
​
We help you engage your people in your short-term, medium-term, and long-term organisational objectives. We assist you to encourage discretionary effort, and create an environment where everyone enjoys coming to work, feeling they are truly making a difference.
​
People Engagement
Engaged team members 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 put in extra 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 through:
-
Interview techniques and strategies to bring the right people into the team, while ensuring diversity and new ideas.
-
Developing a feedback culture, using the Feedback 5 methodology
-
Using Happiness/Engagement Surveys to check the mood and help develop actions for the People Plan
-
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 through succession planning and talent development.
-
Creating capable, empathetic and confident leaders who effectively manage their team.
​
Creating Workplaces Where People Want to Stay
Employee engagement isn't just about job satisfaction—it's about creating an environment where people feel connected to your organisation, understand how their work contributes to business success and are motivated to perform at their best.
Highly engaged employees are more productive, provide better customer experiences and are more likely to remain with your organisation. In contrast, disengaged employees can contribute to increased turnover, absenteeism, lower productivity and reduced workplace morale.
At Martha Travis People Innovators, we help organisations create practical employee engagement strategies that align with their business objectives, culture and values. Rather than implementing generic initiatives, we work with you to understand what motivates your people and develop sustainable solutions that improve both employee experience and organisational performance.
