Ten Laws of Employee Engagement – Bonus Law #11

Posted on: Jan 04, in: Employee Engagement, Employee Engagement Tip Sheet No Comments

YOUR ONLY DURABLE, LONG-TERM COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IS YOUR EMPLOYEES

Here is one thing none of your competitors have – your staff. More specifically, how your staff performs, be it in establishing memorable customer relationships or in volunteering the levels of discretionary effort that deliver business value across the enterprise in a way that creates distinguishing competitive advantage. There may be a half?dozen companies in a 200?mile radius with similar products or service offerings, but you know that NONE of them share your staff. Increasing the level of employee engagement is like employing a stealth weapon against your competitors. They won’t see it coming, they won’t know exactly what you’ve done, but they will feel the pain as they lose customers and market share. Clueless, they will scramble, using all the old tools (cutting staff and expenses) while their numbers continue to decline.

The following comments are for Engagient's Employee Engagement Seminar for Managers

We were trying to get the buy-in from our Management team, prior to rolling out a new Performance Review Process and move the management style away from the industrial age style in an attempt to get our employees more engaged. For the last 45 years we have been working under the old world style of management and old habits die hard. The Engagient seminar on Employee Engagement was exactly what we were looking to install at Perfect Plastic Printing.

Don presented the information with a passion and energy that impacted every participant. The information presented represented the results of research and science as opposed to just one more consultant’s opinion. This made the buy-in so much easier. The combination of instruction and small group exercises kept the class from getting tired and kept the information geared more toward our business as opposed to generalizing information. Don was extremely knowledgeable on the subject and this was apparent when he answered participant questions. He kept the conversations light and humorous, but had you believing that getting your employees more engaged is crucial to surviving in business today. The feedback from the Management team on the seminar was all positive. Don was one of the best presenters that we have experienced at Perfect Plastic Printing.
