Does not need CSI to uncover the evidence for engagement

What would your CEO think if you could promise her the following:

16% growth in profits
87% reduction in staff turnover
20% improvement in performance

These are just some of the metrics that support the case for employee engagement being at the top of the HR agenda.

I spent a good bit of last week pulling together a pitch which attempts to push home the importance of engagement for HR. Coincidentally, I discovered that Julian at Delta 7 happened to be thinking about the same thing. We got our heads together and he produced this great visual metaphor:

We tried to demonstrate how ridiculous it is that the tools that build engagement levels are not being deployed by organisations. The consequence? - poor performance, pressure on the business to work harder and ultimately the wheels coming off the business strategy.

If you are interested in more on this topic I have posted my pitch on Slideshare.
