Engaged people drive better business outcomes

If your people are engaged they drive better business outcomes.

Studies* show that organisations with the most engaged people outperform others – significantly. They are more productive, staff turnover is lower, they generate more sales and their profits are higher. The people who work there are happier, feel more valued and have more enriching work lives.

Real world issues interfere

That’s all well and good. But how do you achieve that?

In the real world mergers, takeovers, restructuring programmes and changes of every shape and size interfere. That’s not to mention day to day pressures and workloads.

Then there are other factors. Perhaps your managers are not the best communicators? Perhaps there’s a disconnect between your senior leadership and the rest of the organisation? Perhaps you’re about to embark on some painful change programme? Perhaps even the channels to communicate with your people are not working that well?

Do you know how morale is?

Finding a way through

There’s a way through. That’s where we come in.

Our job is to help organisations, their senior leaders and their communicators build better engagement with their people.

We can help by:

  • Auditing your internal communications approach
  • Advising on / reviewing employee engagement strategy
  • Coaching senior leaders on communications impact
  • Up-skilling your communications team
  • Coaching communications leaders and team members
  • Helping with change communications strategy and planning
  • Facilitating planning sessions

There’s no one-size-fits-all. Every organisation is different, every culture is different and every team is different.

But the principles of great employee engagement are the same. How you apply them in your organisation is the key to making it work successfully.

We love our work. We’d love to help you. Let’s work together and really create something special for your organisation.

Contact Neil Fletcher, our managing consultant, to start the ball rolling.

The People Comms Hub

Our mission – to inspire

We’re on a mission to inspire people communicators.

An engaged workforce brings so many benefits for the people who work there and for the organisation as a whole. That’s why internal communications and employee engagement is so important.

We’ve found that people communicators can sometimes be more reactive and tactical than their external comms or marketing colleagues. Often this is just a question of confidence in their own ability rather than any lack of acumen. Unlock that confidence and the rest follows.

That’s why we’re on a mission to build the self-confidence and expertise of people communicators everywhere.
