A company’s workforce is its biggest asset, but usually, it’s the biggest expense, too. If team members are not happy and committed, their performance will suffer. This leads to poor productivity, soaring absence rates, and high staff turnover—biting big chunks out of profits.
Employee engagement programs aim to resolve these issues by improving relationships. They allow employees to voice their concerns, contribute ideas, and be rewarded for their achievements. This results in a happier, more engaged workforce and greater business success.
Your employee engagement strategy might incorporate anonymous feedback channels or methods to encourage continuous feedback between managers and employees. It can also include peer recognition programs and should take employees’ work environment into account. You might consider documenting it, and including it in your onboarding package for new hires.
