Empowering a Movement to the Frontline through Effective Employee Engagement

Employee engagement is the degree in which people are motivated by, passionate about and invested in their work and the organization they are a part of. They have an increased understanding on how their work delivers to the bottom line. Highly engaged workforces have increased productivity & profitability while minimizing employee turnover. Having a thorough and well thought out employee communications strategy that is tailored to the uniqueness of your organization is crucial to its long-term success.

I was working with a large mining company (2500 employees plus 2000 contractors) that had very low employee engagement scores, the organization was misaligned on their purpose and the employee turnover was very high relative to industry standards. The employee productivity was very low. The gap to potential was significant for the business and the leadership knew they were leaving money on the table due to poor engagement practices.
