Employee Engagement: The Key to Building Your Bottom Line

For any business to grow and succeed, importance must be given to the most crucial resource- the employees. Engaged employees are the key to increased productivity and innovative ideas in the workplace. If you are looking for ways to improve your bottom line, then investing in employee engagement is one of the most impactful ways in which you can achieve this.

According to Gallup research, employee engagement at the workplace is seen the most in the USA and Canada. Here are 3 primary ways in which businesses gain from employee engagement.

1. Employee Satisfaction and Impact on Retention

It is a global trend for actively engaged employees to score higher on Employee Satisfaction (ESAT) surveys. This means that employees not only enjoy coming to work but also are more likely to add value in their everyday tasks. Engaged employees are also less likely to leave the organization. This results in a stable and well-trained talent pool in the organization. Both of these factors create a good workplace environment and it becomes easier to attract good talent while recruiting.

2. Increased Productivity

An engaged employee is invested in their work and this has a positive impact on the productivity of the organization. When people are actively involved in their tasks, they find ways to improve the processes and find better ways of doing things. This leads to an increase in the productivity levels of the company.

3. Innovation and Profitability

Innovation at the workplace is an outcome of an engaged mind. One tenet of employee engagement is fostering better relationships in the workplace. This leads to the exchange of ideas and possibilities, ultimately resulting in innovation. And if these ideas are concrete enough, then there is a high chance that they can be turned profitable with strategic planning. A 2008/09 research by Wyatt Watson titled "Driving Business Results Through Continuous Engagement" found that companies with highly engaged employees produce 26% higher revenue per employee.

Over the years, organizations have thrived by achieving employee engagement through various means- be it the HubSpot's Culture Code to podcasts, fitness programs, tuition reimbursement, professional development funds and many other programs and ideas.
