Employee Engagement

Helping people have their best day

When employees do not feel connected to your organisation or its vision, their performance suffers, turnover rates climb, and people often pursue their own agendas rather than driving your strategic goals. Our employee engagement services take your organisation from average to high-performing by integrating culture and engagement with your business strategy.

Pay, perks, and benefits do not buy employee engagement. Instead, it requires an alignment of maximum job satisfaction with maximum job contribution. When people have the focus, communication, and support needed to do their best, they experience work that works for them and delivers the results you need. 

How to increase employee engagement

Our employee engagement solutions provide the knowledge, tools, and resources you need to develop a fully engaged workforce where every day on the job is a great day.

Measure. Commit. Manage.

From insightful surveys to digital support for interpreting and acting on findings, our surveys help you drive the accountability and actions needed to increase engagement and improve performance.

We partner with you to create a survey and communication strategy that reflects your priorities and culture. Our standard approach includes an organisational summary presentation, comparative reports by demographics, and actionable reports for managers.

  • Engagement Survey. Based on our model of shared accountability, this short, actionable survey sheds light on opportunities for improving engagement.
  • Pulse Survey. This brief survey has broad application to your total workforce or a specific subset of employees. It enables you to track progress of engagement initiatives, explore specific topics, and demonstrate continued commitment to engagement.
  • Dynamic Reporting. Our digital dashboard allows leaders and administrators to organise data by workgroup, manager, and other attributes for focused analysis and planning.

I find the material very applicable in learning the ropes and figuring out my managing style. I have been able to pull out a lot of information from each training to put into practice.
