Episode 5 – Employee Engagement: How Leaders Can Foster Engagement to Create Powerhouse Employees
In this episode, we welcome internationally recognized employee engagement thought leader, Dr. Brad Shuck.
Dr. Mandolen Mull and Dr. Brad Shuck cover the fascinating and much-discussed topic of employee engagement. A company that has a high level of employee engagement is a healthier and more successful organization. Leaders need a strategy to ensure employees are engaged in an organization and a good culture fit. Leaders that can generate engagement find that employees are more involved, willing to take risks that benefit the organization, and are healthier overall.
Consider this: 85% of employees globally are either not engaged or actively disengaged and companies that have a high rate of employee engagement are 21% more profitable.
Can your company give up 21% of its profits?
