This is someone who is always looking for new and different ways of achieving the outcomes of their role.
Industry research indicates a direct link between employee engagement, customer satisfaction, and profits. A 5% increase in employee engagement could create a 1% increase in customer satisfaction and also increase profits by 50%. Who are your customers and what does an increase in profitability mean to them?
The most comprehensive research done was by Gallup. Two studies over the last 25 years What do the most talented employees need from their workplace? Over 1 Million employees surveyed 2500 business units 24 companies How do the worlds greatest managers find, focus, and keep talented employees? Results compared with company sales, profits, customer satisfaction scores, employee turnover figures, employee opinion data, and 360 feedback forms Over 80,000 1.5 hour interviews have been conducted, tape recorded, and transcribed over the last 25 years.
Key learnings from the Gallup studies: Employee focused initiatives are not unimportant, but immediate managers are more important. They define and pervade the work environment. If a Manager sets clear expectations, know their employees, trust them and invest in them, then employees will forgive the company its lack of other benefits. Talented Employees need great Managers. They may join a company for its great leaders or benefits, but how long they stay and how productive they are while there is determined by their relationship with their immediate supervisor.
Research shows the link between a manager and employee is so strong, that employees don’t leave companies… they leave managers. (Click to show message) Once this is understood, it becomes obvious that the key to employee engagement is our management team. All of our research has validated this claim. The Gallup Organization was a primary resource. They have been researching this topic for the past 30 years and they say that effective communication is the key to good Management. The question our managers have is what do they communicate that will engage employees? (Click for next slide)
After surveying over 1 million employees at 2500 business units, the Gallup Organization has identified what the most talented employees need from their workplace. They say that when employees agree to a mere 12 questions, there is proof of increased productivity, reduced turnover, and higher profitability. The questions are sequential. (Click for arrow to move up the screen) Lower level issues must be addressed before employees will move up to higher levels of engagement. When I first read these questions I was really excited. The very next morning I went into Bruce Trippet’s office and told him “I have always known you were a good manager but now I know WHY you are so good.” What Bruce does well follows the Gallup questions (Click) he sets clear expectations and makes sure I have what I need to get my job done. (Click) He provides me with opportunities to do what I do best. He recognizes my work, and according to a consultant brought in by the Leadership Development team, this is the most effective type of recognition an employee can get. (Click) I also believe that he sincerely cares about me as a person. He certainly encourages my development or I wouldn’t be here today, and he’s a great listener. (Click) Finally he and others help me understand my importance to the company mission. (Click – New Slide)
