Employee Engagement / Strengths-Based City Hall
When was the last time you provided useful training for your employees, outside of senior leadership or conducted an employee engagement survey? MCG provides the hands-on training to improve this significant factor in your organization. We can provide a detailed needs assessment and help identify areas for improvement so that your employees love coming to work and that your organization is productive and efficient with these happy employees.
Below are some of the advantages that the strengths-based organizations can capitalize on, based on a Gallup study of workgroups using strengths-based interventions to examine the effects those interventions had on workgroup performance.
- 49,495 business units with 1.2 million employees across 22 organizations in seven industries and 45 countries
- 10% to 19% increased sales
- 14% to 29% increased profit
- 3% to 7% higher customer engagement
- 6% to 16% lower turnover (low-turnover organizations)
- 26% to 72% lower turnover (high-turnover organizations)
- 9% to 15% increase in engaged employees
- 22% to 59% fewer safety incidents
Research shows that Managers account for at least 70% of the variance for employee engagement.2 What’s more, almost seven in 10 employees (67%) who strongly agree that their manager focuses on their strengths or positive characteristics are engaged. When employees strongly disagree with this statement, the percentage of workers who are engaged in their work plummets to 2%.
