Lessons of the Square Watermelon
Would you invest 0.5% of your payroll cost to gain an extra 5% in productivity?
Ask any MD, CEO, GM or Executive Manager how important their “people” are and they will all say that they are the most important asset they have.
Why is it then that most organisations fail to give their managers and supervisors the tools they require to effectively manage their direct reports?
It is a proven fact that managers who have heightened “people management” skills, deliver far greater team productivity than those managers who don’t. How then can organisations, of any type or size, increase the “people management” skills of their entire management team to deliver higher productivity?
The Power of Employee Engagement!!
You have probably heard the joke where a manager is asked how many people work in his company and his reply is, "About half of them."
Very funny the first time you hear it but it tends to lose its appeal after about the tenth time. I think I now know why this is the case.
The reality is that it is no laughing matter and when you look at the statistics below you will begin to understand just how much time, energy and resources are wasted in Australian organisations.
The Gallop Australian Employee Engagement Survey 2006 delivered the following results:
21% are Engaged Employees
Employees work with passion and feel a profound connection to their company. They drive innovation and move the organisation forward.
61% are Not-Engaged Employees
Employees are essentially “checked-out”. They’re sleepwalking through their workday, putting time –but not energy or passion—into their work.
18% are Actively Disengaged Employees
Employees aren’t just unhappy at work; they’re busy acting out their unhappiness. Every day, these workers undermine what their engaged co-workers accomplish.
What is going on and what can be done about it?
Every manager worth his/her salt knows that without great people you can never achieve an organisation’s true potential. Why is it then that very few invest in their staff other than via traditional training programs?
I believe that the answer lies in the belief of many business owners and managers that spending money on their most important asset, their people, is unquantifiable.
In recent studies it has been proven that by using the assessments from Profiles International, organisations generate greater than a 25 times return on investment. If you would like to learn how your organisation can also benefit please contact us.
It has been proven many times over that there is a direct link between employee engagement and organisational success; the more engaged your employees, the greater success that your business will enjoy. If you are looking for ways to improve the performance of your business, then I recommend reading this article.
