well and why?

34. Who is doing employee engagement well?

35. 1. Employee-centric companies share a purpose-driven culture focused on
developing, recognizing, and motivating employees.
2. Be clear about what you are measuring and why. Focus on key business
outcomes for your organization.
3. Employee wellbeing is essential. Happy employees = happy customers.
Happy customers = happy business.
4. Reward plays a part in engagement, but only up to a point. Employees
should be rewarded, but not-over rewarded.
5. Mean it, live it, don’t ‘do’ engagement to people, make it ‘the way we work
round here’.
6. Stop rewarding quantity metrics (hours, face-time, output) and start
rewarding quality (value generated).
