The ROI of Frequent Recognition | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it
Recognition at any time is crucial, but frequent recognition helps stoke the fire of engagement even more.
Barry Deutsch's insight:

Employee recongition is such a powerful tool - and the benefits come from so many areas as this article simply describes. I keep scratching my head why more companies don't embark upon a path of creating a comprehensive non-monetary reward and recognition system.

3 Ways to Maximize Employee Performance Through Engagement and Teamwork | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it

Barry Deutsch's insight:

Alarm bells should be ringing! Can you believe the statement in this article in Inc that a survey showed that 80 percent of the reason to leave a company was a lack of being patted on the back?

 

I've been talking about this simple idea of one element of employee engagement for years - yet out of 600-700 CEOs and executives that I present to annually - very few are doing anything substantial around employee appreciation and recognition.

 

As the job market continues to heat up over the next decade, be prepared for the exodus due to a lack of appreciation.

The Best (And Amazingly Easy) Thing You Can Do to Increase Employee Engagement

Barry Deutsch's insight:

I wanted to slap myself in the forehead after reading this article. Of course, the mission statement is critical to success. It's one of core elements of culture, focusing employees, and gaining alignment around employee motivation and the purpose of your organization.

 

How strong is your mission statement? Is it a difference maker in hiring and retention?

If you're recognizing outstanding performance, why would your employees continue to go above and beyond the call of duty for you?

6 Surefire Strategies to Kickstart Employee Engagement | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it
When your employees are engaged, they are more productive and less likely to quit. So how can you improve and sustain employee engagement in your company?
Barry Deutsch's insight:

Good basic ideas on recognition, team work, personal development, learning - all of which leads to increasing engagement and productivity.

 

Here's the key question - why do so few companies and managers shy away from investing in trying to build employee engagement - when we know the impact on retention and productivity?

 

Is there not enough published information and studies to justify the investment, is there not enough incentive to change, is it not part of your culture, or is it that you just don't know what to do?

What your boss is not giving you that you need to win | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it
Employees across the world have the same core needs —including recognition, feedback, personal growth, and work-life balance— to succeed at work.
Barry Deutsch's insight:

This Office Vibe study is gaining a lot of attention.  It's one of the largest studies conducted in recent years and mirrors a lot of the research from the Gallup organization on employee happiness, satisfaction, and engagement. Note the statistic that only slightly over 50% of employees would recommend their company to friends. If your Net Promoter Score was that low, you would fire your Marketing-Customer Success-Sales Executive. How can you allow such a low level of satisfaction to exist in your organization?
