3 Vital Factors that Contribute to Workplace Success

Employee engagement is an important part of any organization. A successful company must engage it’s employees. After working with hundreds of small to large companies, we can easily identify that the number one key to success is Engaged Employees.

THERE ARE 3 AREAS TO LOOK AT:

EMPLOYEES BELIEF IN SENIOR LEADERSHIP AND UNDERSTANDING OF LEADERSHIPS DIRECTION

  • Employees want to know that their voice is heard. They want leaders with a clear definition of where they are going and why they are going there. No one wants to follow a leader that is lost.

EMPLOYEES RELATIONSHIP WITH IMMEDIATE SUPERVISORS

  • Nothing supersedes building positive workplace relationships. A recent study by Dale Carnegie identified that 80% of employees are unhappy with their immediate supervisor and are therefore disengaged. Employees want to be known and valued for their contribution. Employees are inspired by having role models that encourage goal achievement, contributing to positive engagement and a better overall workplace environment.

EMPLOYEES BELIEF IN WHAT AND WHY THE COMPANY DOES WHAT IT DOES

  • Whether through a manifesto or a mission statement, a company must let their employees, customers and prospects know what they plan to accomplish, how they will accomplish it, and why they are focused on accomplishing it. It is about values. It is about world-view. It is about clearly stating what the world will look like when a business has had a chance to change it. Employee Engagement levels are twice as high among employees who say they are proud of the contributions their organization has made to society.

This we know, the four characteristics needed for engagement are enthusiasm, empowerment, inspiration, and confidence. Below are a few of the key statistics you may want to know:
