Why is engagement important?
Engagement – pride in purpose
The statistics around business engagement speak for themselves…
Employee engagement increases productivity in the workplace.
Engaged employees outperform their peers that are not engaged. Overall, companies with high employee engagement are 21% more profitable.
Employee engagement improves morale in the workplace.
Employee engagement reduces absenteeism. A Gallup study shows that highly engaged workplaces saw 41% lower absenteeism.
Engaged employees provide better customer service.
So why do organisations still find they have low engagement levels? Or even worse – don’t know how engaged their people are?

Testimonials
“Juliet is an authentic leader. I worked with her for two years as part of our overall Employee Engagement strategy that includes diversity and inclusion, recognition, and CSR. Juliet quickly assessed, recommended, and executed what was needed to support the International Engagement Champions. Juliet examined the needs through the lens of leadership and what was needed to mobilize and engage the leaders so they could execute in their regional and business areas. Her style is inclusive and collaborative, and we would not have been as successful in one short year without her leadership and guidance. Any team or organization would be fortunate to have a person who understands how to connect the dots and engage others across employee experience.”
