Employee Engagement for Business Leaders

There have been countless studies on the principles of employee motivation since the 1950s, resulting in ever greater levels of understanding that can be easily applied to produce greater performance from a business’s workforce.

When done well, this results in what is commonly referred to as ‘Discretionary Effort’. This is the holy grail of employee engagement and is the result of an employer simply doing everything right.

Discretionary effort typically results in a wide range of benefits for the business, not the least of which being a much happier, more focused and more productive workforce.

In addition, there are measurable benefits that include:

• Employees typically volunteering around 50% more of their time.
