“Employees at Best Companies experience more cooperation and commitment” said Lindsay Nelson of Great Place to Work.
“Highly committed and engaged employees add 57% more discretionary effort, and have a greater than 87% chance of staying” reported Steve Knight from Integral Talent Systems.
These experts were among the five presenters at the BOLD workshop “Clarifying Employee Engagement: Helping People Go the Extra Mile” last Wednesday.
Each presenter's topic blended well with the next: building engagement surveys, engaging talent, best people practices and practical case studies. The message seemed clear: engaged employees are motivated and committed to go the extra mile to help their organization succeed in achieving their business goals.
These days, it’s common to hear the word engagement connected to ‘accountability’, or ‘ownership’ or ‘commitment’. But what does this really mean? How do companies cultivate a culture of accountability? How can leaders inspire ownership?
And what role can HR play in ‘managing employee commitment’?
This topic – 'Managing Employee Commitment’ - is the theme we will be exploring this September in our Roundtable Discussion Groups hosted by five different companies around the Bay Area. Like many BOLD programs, we will be taking what seems like a good idea and making it relevant, pragmatic, and actionable.
If you are an internal HR professional and BOLD member, you are invited to join us in these discussions. Reserve your seat by contacting the local representative for the Roundtable most convenient for you.
Bring your challenges, examples and experience, and be prepared to be engaged.
