Employee Engagement

For your business to succeed, it is vital to know the value of your human capital and work towards increasing it. Your most valuable employees will be those that are motivated and engaged.

Engaged employees are those that feel commitment or ‘connection’ to their organisation. They drive innovation, work with passion and support their colleagues. However, Gallup surveys have shown that less than a third of the workforce is engaged. Those who are not engaged view work as having a detrimental effect on their physical and emotional health, they act out their unhappiness at work whilst undermining and disrupting their colleagues.

How employee engagement affects your bottom line

Employee engagement affects productivity, profitability and staff retention – it cannot be ignored. If your workforce is not engaged, your organisation cannot perform or compete effectively. Employees who are not engaged will also fail to promote the brand of the company, which in turn will affect your reputation and recruitment ability.

Ceridian can help your organisation with employee engagement through a variety of interventions. These include:

Health and Wellness

Feeling that your organisation cares about their health and wellness will increase employee engagement. Working towards a healthy, happy and resilient workforce will improve productivity, retention and reduce absenteeism.

Work-Life Balance

Managing work commitments as well as those outside is very important to employees. A feeling of control and flexibility will help employees to be more engaged at work.

Stress Management

Stress in the workplace reduces employee engagement. Proactively managing stress increases the occurrence of a healthy workforce, with suitable work-life balances.

Absence Management

Proactively managing absence is vital for sustaining a fully functioning team. Ceridian can effectively analyse absence data to work out how to reduce absenteeism and increase employee engagement.

Manager Support Coaching

Employee engagement is greatly affected by managers. Employees need to understand their role, be recognised, and praised for doing it well, be listened to and have someone to discuss progress and development with. Coaching for managers will lead to an improved relationship between managers and their employees, and the resultant increase in employee engagement will ensure you get more out of your people.

EAP Counselling

Providing a mechanism to support employees in times of crisis will improve their sense of wellbeing, whether or not they have to use the service.
