What differentiates a company in which people are productive, feel rewarded and empowered? Research shows that engaged employees are more likely to stay with a company, perform 20 per cent better than their colleagues and act as advocates of the business.
Employee engagement and communication are two of the most powerful tools to build effective cultures and working environments.
When the COVID 19 pandemic hit and workers were sent home to work from their bedrooms, dining rooms or kitchens, it was the companies that were well connected technically and emotionally that adapted the best.
They had a culture of trust and integrity that could be relied upon and the basis of a new way of working.
In a working environment which encourages the sharing of ideas, respects opinions and differences, and welcomes diversity, it is more likely that people will feel engaged.
With engagement comes better productivity, more innovation, tolerance and better problem solving. Ideas turn into realities, work is completed and customers are satisfied.
