Five Key Benefits of Employee Engagement - Episode 20

Your team is your company’s most valuable asset! That’s why it’s so important for you as a leader to care about employee engagement. Today I’m going to share with you five key benefits of an employee engagement program and why you need to have one immediately if you want to retain your best people and attract new talent into your organization.

 

The five key benefits to employee engagement:

 

1. Engagement helps increase productivity. Employees were highly engaged and have a sense of purpose and contribution on the team tend to work harder which leads to more productivity.

 

2. Engaged employees have a stronger sense of the company mission and vision. When employees are engaged you can keep everybody on the same page, focused towards the same goals and end results.

 

3. The more employees are engaged the more creative they become. When employees are engaged, they tend to brainstorm ideas and come up with new ways of doing things. Unengaged employees go through the motions or as I say “they look like they’re doing time”.

 

4. With an increasing employee engagement there is a decrease in employee turnover. When employees feel like they are part of the team and they’re appreciated for their dedication and hard work they don’t quit. In fact, those employees tend to refer other team members that are just as good if not better than they are!

 

5. Your clients and customers will know what difference if your employees are engaged and support the company mission. Employees were engaged tend to offer a higher level of customer experience. They also tend to be happier and more willing to solve problems which leads to customer satisfaction.

 

So, you can see how important employee engagement is to the bottom line in any organization. To find out more about implementing an employee engagement program you can contact us at info@RickGoodman.com Or call us at 888-267-6098

Format: Kindle Edition

Most books on leadership are full of platitudes. You know, the “it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog” kind of nonsense. But this book is different. Author and leadership consultant Rick Goodman has written a book full of actionable information on how to be a leader, how to employ leadership, and how to foster leadership in the people who report to you. What’s more, the book is organized so carefully that after you’ve read through it, it’s easy to use the book as a reference guide and quickly refer back to whatever issue, problem or point you need clarification on. I enjoyed reading Goodman’s book and I learned a lot. I believe you will too.
