Research Connects Employee Engagement to Business Growth
Print this Article Email this Article
Chicago — Jan. 14
New research released by Chicago-based human capital management consulting firm HR Solutions Inc. found employee pride to be at a high level according to its international database. Close to three-quarters of employees (71 percent) answered favorably to the statement, “I would proudly recommend this organization as a good place to work to a friend or relative.” Seventy-five percent agreed that their “work is personally rewarding,” and lastly, 71 percent of employees “leave work often with a good feeling of accomplishment about the work they did that day.”
These three statistics have a direct relationship to employees’ sense of pride in their work. Employees who find great pride in their work naturally have a high engagement level. Engaged employees are more likely to recommend their company products and services to their friends and family as well as recommend their company to other customers, attributing to company growth. Employee engagement translates into employee loyalty and pride, which then drives employee productivity and business outcomes.
“Employee engagement has a great impact on the turnover and the financial performance of the company. Engaged employees are six times more likely to stay with their organization than their disengaged counterparts. To create a sense of pride in one’s work, a high level of employee engagement is imperative. In turn, this prevents turnover, lessening any strain on the company financially, allowing for business success,” explained Kevin Sheridan, CEO of HR Solutions Inc.
These organizations have been shown to outperform their competitors on financial metrics. Employees who are engaged and take pride in their work have a sense of ownership that allows for satisfied customers and company growth.
