Gallup 2016 survey: In a survey on employee engagement versus bottom line across 1.8 million employees, it concluded that business divisions scoring at the top half with reported employee engagement had nearly double the performance impact, compared with those in the bottom half. This is regardless of the organisation, industry or company; regardless of changes in the economy or even massive changes in technology. In simple terms, on a global scale, people who are engaged are natural brand ambassadors and deliver high quality outcomes. So if performance and profit are important to you, your people are the place to start.
Happy, a consulting company led by Henry Stewart, are experts in the field of engagement and have significant proof points. Happy, engaged staff are 22% more profitable. For every 2% increase in how happy employees are, revenue grows by 1%. Investing in a great workplace compared to the standard stock market over the last 25years would give a 3.5% increase in return.
