How important is EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION & ENGAGEMENT to your business?

A few companies have it...Everyone wants it...Chances are your organisation is trying hard to

get it... What could it be??? High levels of Employee engagement and staff motivation.

There are few issues that human resources directors and talent managers face today that are

more important than attracting, retaining and motivating good employees. Effective employee

motivation and retention can have a dramatic impact on a company. As employees grow so does your business along with potential profit - remember that people are your business, its people that

drive a business forwards so it pays to employ and appreciate good staff. One of the most effective ways to fill your company with great people is to keep the great ones around. Think of all the organisational knowledge, expertise, and know-how that quality staff bring to work each day. Engage and motivate these high quality human resources and you have a gold mine to tap in to.

By ensuring employee motivation and engagement and keeping quality staff you can make savings through lower recruit costs which in turn can be ploughed back into staff training, development and employee motivation, further increasing engagement, performance and productivity. A company with 75 employees, average salary £45,000, can save a staggering £150,000 per year by lowering staff turnover by 5%, in recruitment costs alone. That’s a significant amount to invest in team building, employee motivation and looking after your people. Invest in your people and they will invest in your business!

A company’s ability to manage employee engagement is closely linked to its ability to achieve

high performance levels and translate it into profit. Engaged and motivated employees are more likely to stay with the company longer, be a champion of the company and offer increased contribution to the bottom line. So employee motivation and engagement is critical to any business that seeks to retain valued employees and increase its level of performance. We already know that wages and benefits are important to employees, but direct compensation is only a part of the package required to keep the highly skilled, motivated and experienced workforce that a business needs to succeed. Of the many ways to engage staff; training, personal development, security, being appreciated, going on team building events, leadership development, conferences and incentives are commonly quoted by employees as ingredients to emloyee motivation.

Organising professional events including team building, incentive programmes, communication events and development workshops for your employees will impact directly on your employees and business by helping to reduce costly issues such as absenteeism, stress, conflict and staff turnover, whilst increasing employee engagement, ownership, motivation, trust, loyalty and performance.
