Why should you care about your employees’ ‘engagement’? 🤔 ‘Engagement’ is an umbrella term we HR consultants use to describe your employees’ enthusiasm, commitment and motivation towards their work and your business. Their levels of engagement have a direct impact on their performance and your bottom line. 📈 That’s why working on engagement within your business is really important. Now, with all things HR, it can easily seem quite intangible. But there’s actually a really easy way to measure your team’s engagement. 📊 Engagement metrics not only help us to understand how engaged your team are, but they also help us to create benchmarks and report on improvements in the future. 📈📋 📝 Employee satisfaction surveys: These surveys provide insight into how employees feel about their work environment, management and overall job satisfaction. 📊 eNPS (employee Net Promoter Score): This metric gauges employees’ loyalty and willingness to recommend their workplace, clearly indicating overall engagement levels. 📉 Turnover and retention rates: Monitoring how often employees leave or stay with the company helps to assess engagement. Want to know how engaged your employees are? We can help... Get in touch with us for a confidential chat. 📞 #EmployeeEngagement #HRMetrics #WorkplaceCulture #BusinessSuccess
Have you heard of Quiet Vacationing? This new trend involves remote workers secretly taking time off while pretending to work, often by scheduling emails or moving their mouse to appear active. It can signify deeper workplace issues, such as high workloads, burnout and toxic cultures that discourage honest communication about taking breaks. While it can be deceitful on the employee's part, surveys show that many employees are not using their full leave, working during holidays and feeling unable to disconnect. Hence, handling cases reasonably and rationally is important. https://lnkd.in/dcNzDbJ6

What is employer branding and why should you care about it as a business owner? Your employer brand is how your employees feel about working for you, the awesome experience you provide and what attracts future talent.

Here are five ways to build a great employer brand: Define your EVP: Define what makes your business unique - why people join and stay. Be aligned: Sync your employer brand seamlessly with your values, strategies and policies. Cultivate a great culture: Build a supportive and inclusive work environment with visible leaders. Encourage advocacy: Empower your people to become your biggest brand cheerleaders at industry events and on social media.
