How Leaders Can Improve Employee Engagement and Performance
The secret to sustainable business success is deceptively simple: engaged employees. Thriving companies balance individual fulfillment and organizational excellence—simultaneously meeting the needs of the workforce and the marketplace. Yet many businesses struggle to keep their employees motivated, because no single initiative works with every individual. To solve this challenge, we have developed a holistic model to empower leaders and help them create welcoming, inclusive, and supportive workplaces. When employees are valued for who they are, they are happier, healthier, and more productive, enabling their companies to win in the marketplace.
Defined as the involvement and enthusiasm of employees in their work and workplace, employee engagement is tightly linked to financial performance, customer satisfaction, and innovation (Source: Drucker Institute). High-performing teams align the goals and objectives of the organization with personal priorities, enabling team members to find meaning and purpose in work, further fueling employee engagement. This alignment of personal and professional values is especially important for members of the Gen Z and millennial generations.
