The decisions, positions and acts of your employees create or slow down the innovation and development of the entire organization. They hold the key to development, and the generation of new profits is in their hands. This is particularly the case in difficult market situations, when every individual is expected to invest extra knowledge and energy in order to stimulate a rise in the company’s profits. For this it is important to have a well-organized team, and highly motivated employees, who associate with the identity of the company. In these times, starting the process of developing a company can only be carried out with the help of the loyalty of all the individuals in the company, considering that the organization is very often unable to compensate them financially for the effort, time and knowledge they invest.
The most important thing for successfully activating the full potential of employees is to have them engaged within the company. The idea of engaging individuals within the company can be understood as creating a deep feeling of connection of the employees with the organization, and their identification with the corporate identity. Emotional connections and a sense of belonging to the company are feelings that are valued and needed. An engaged individual will not think ‘what do I get from this’, but ‘what use have we got from this’, and without any additional thought will give their all to achieve the new goals. Research has shown that those employees who are engaged within the organization work more efficiently and productively, are ready for new ideas, and take a proactive approach. A study by Towers Perrin concluded that by engaging employees, the company’s profits could rise by 19% in comparison to those companies that have a lower percentile of employee inclusion. Research carried out by Watson Wyatt over the last 5 years has demonstrated that companies with a high engagement of employees have 26% more work productivity, attract better experts in their groups, have more stable businesses, and also give 13% more dividends to shareholders. Highly engaged employees are twice as likely to be leading experts, and also miss 20% less days of work. They often go beyond set plans and norms.
We believe that these figures offer more than a good argument for investing in communications with employees and their engagement within the organization.
Our experts in in-house communications will help you to define the key points and methods of engaging employees in the organization, as well as the development of their motivation, loyalty and identification. They will arrange efficient channels of communication within your company. In fact, transferring a message to each employee in an organization can be compared to the challenge of controlling children in a school bus: some will listen, others will hear but will totally misunderstand the message, whilst yet others will totally ignore what has been said, and will later offer the response that ‘no one told me anything’. Communicating with hundreds and sometimes thousands of employees inside one organization is not an easy task. Just the number of auditoria is an added complication in international corporations with headquarters in different countries, which also have added cultural and geographical variations. It is important to pay attention to one’s own employees who are already being bombarded on a daily basis with information that they need to process, which is connected to projects, clients and production. The challenge for personnel managers is to spread their message through the cacophony of everyday business and ensure that individuals feel included. For years, Kadei has gained experience in the most efficient methods and tools to facilitate communication with employees. |
