Sound appealing? That's because it is! Everybody wants this for their organization. And developing an engaged and healthy workforce is the way to accomplish it. Did you know that is pays to be healthy?
In this era of increasing workplace pressures (increased competitiveness, a faster pace and tighter budgets, continuous change), maintaining a healthy and productive work environment is extremely important. Leading organizations are responding by nurturing their most important asset – their employees. There is consistent evidence demonstrating a link between better people management and better financial performance. This is accomplished by way of reduced costs due to absenteeism, disability and conflict as well as improved productivity, customer/client relations and team functioning.
These organizations are demonstrating a commitment to creating an engaged workforce, in other words an environment where workers thrive and are able to do their best every day. When workers are able to voice ideas and solutions, feel respected and listened to, and know the work they do makes a difference, everyone benefits. Indeed, it is logical that characteristics that improve organizational effectiveness also enhance employee loyalty and discretionary effort. Engagement is both the process and the outcome of establishing the right conditions for the organization and its employees to work together to improve, achieve and deliver.
