Share your Employee Engagement Reality

Announcement posted by RedBalloon 01 Feb 2013

Find out how your organisation can transform its employee engagement reality in 2013
1 February 2013: Now in its third year, the RedBalloon and AltusQ Employee Engagement Capability Survey is open for submissions. The survey and resulting report seek to better understand and support organisations committed to expanding and transforming employee engagement.

This unique research study looks at 20 core competencies that contribute to delivering high levels of employee engagement, and identifies the specific barriers, knowledge and skills gaps in a business to direct the required actions to improve a workplace’s engagement reality.

In 2012 the report uncovered that company culture was king when it came to creating and maintaining an engaged workforce. What will 2013 unveil?

Recent Gallup findings* show that only 18 per cent of Australians say that they love their work, and estimates indicate Australia suffers a massive $32bn annual loss in productivity through disengaged employees .

According to RedBalloon Engagement Consultant James Wright, “We have developed a predictive tool that provides clarity for investment decisions around particular skills or organisational capabilities that will provide the biggest uplift in an organisation’s engagement score”.

“And this also has a bottom line benefit, with the 2012 report showing those organisations achieving 80 per cent or more in their employee engagement score are at least six times more likely to see increases in sales and profit than those with a score below 60 per cent.”

Have your say before 28 February 2013 and go into the draw to win a $300 RedBalloon Gift Voucher and receive a free electronic copy of the report when it is released in April. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/prmed
