Improve Your Bottom Line, Benefit From Employee Ideas
Customers want our products and services to be better,
delivered faster, and produced less expensively. This means that
everything we do needs to be improved. To stay competitive in
this world we have to be better then we were last year and we
should be prepared to be better next year. We must continuously
improve. Engaged employees can show us the way. All employees
can be thinking about how to reduce costs, looking at safety
issues, reducing wastes and improving the environment, while at
the same time developing skills to identify, articulate and
communicate those kinds of things.
The Gallup Organization has studied thousands of companies and
surveyed millions of employees. Their research has shown that
very few employees are engaged and that a relatively small
increase in the amount of engaged workers can reap great
benefits for a company.
At the lowest level, engaged employees help a company stay in
business and at a higher level employees start thinking about
how they can improve themselves. They can take some ownership
over their job; and also over their own development. It starts
people thinking in new and different ways about the things they
do.
