We believe in inspiring people to
remake the way organizations
think about and engage people to
achieve their purpose.
Business is changing.Successful companies are now
acknowledged as those that are
rethinking how they engage people in their purpose, culture and values.
From high profile start ups to tech
companies and forward-thinking
corporations, these companies are
realizing the value of engaging with peoplein a more meaningful way that is
leading to greater value for employees, customers and shareholders.
These are the game changing
businesses, the lighthouse companies
driving a new way to do business.
We call these the people-enabled companies. The people growing that 17%.
Why not be one of them?

Q6. Who is doing Employee Engagement well and why?
Who is doing employee engagement well?
1. Employee-centric companies share a purpose-driven culture focused on
developing, recognizing, and motivating employees.
2. Be clear about what you are measuring and why. Focus on key business
outcomes for your organization.
3. Employee wellbeing is essential. Happy employees = happy customers.
Happy customers = happy business.
4. Reward plays a part in engagement, but only up to a point. Employees
should be rewarded, but not-over rewarded.
5. Mean it, live it, don’t ‘do’ engagement to people, make it ‘the way we work
round here’.
6. Stop rewarding quantity metrics (hours, face-time, output) and start
rewarding quality (value generated).
