employee engagement*

Engaged employees say good things about working at an organisation, they plan to stay at that organization and they strive to give extra effort. With Employee Engagement Guru, Jo Hennessy, leading our consultancy, we can support you build an employee engagement strategy and deliver this through a clear and structured programme of engagement.

How to engage your people

An engaged employee can provide significantly more discretionary effort—"doing whatever it takes" to complete work tasks—ultimately having a positive impact on business results.

But how do you know what engages your people?

What levels of engagement do you have?

And then how do you go about raising levels of engagement?
