Building a thriving workplace through the power of employee engagement

Change and uncertainty are elements that are now common within the world of work. As such, the role of employees as the heartbeat of your organisation has never been more crucial.

The success of any company is intricately tied to the wellbeing, motivation, and engagement of its workforce. Gallup and Workhuman research illuminated the significance of strategic employee recognition—a practice that goes beyond routine acknowledgments to become fulfilling, authentic, equitable, ingrained in company culture, and personalised to each individual.

Benefits of increased engagement

Recognition, often viewed as a simple gesture, is a powerful way for organisations to demonstrate their commitment to their employees. Gallup's analysis across various industries globally revealed connections between employee recognition and a slew of positive outcomes.

In fact, doubling the number of employees who strongly agree that they have received recognition for their work in the last week can lead to a nine per cent improvement in productivity, a 22% decrease in safety incidents, and a similar decrease in absenteeism.
