52% Improved productivity

Most executives are rightly sceptical about the financial value of workshops, executive coaching, and leadership consulting. What is the real impact of an 'engaged' workforce on the bottom line? Recent research by respected U.S. survey house ISR provides some interesting answers...

In a survey of 650,000 employees they identified that high ‘engagement’ companies had:

• 52% higher annual growth in operating income
• 18% higher annual growth in net income
• 39% higher annual growth in earnings per share

Lets assume for a moment that the figures above apply to your company next year…

• What does the value of engaging your workforce translate to in hard currency next year?
• How much are you currently spending on engaging your workforce effectively?
• Is engagement still a fluffy subject?

Statistics are starting to back up what experienced project and programme leaders have always known. An engaged culture is well worth growing!
