Engagement Strategies (www.engagementstrategies.com) helps companies reach goals faster. Our primary expertise is in building change and communication programs that increase employee engagement — a proven competitive advantage, especially in today’s business climate. Employee engagement is a critical condition that enables organizations to inspire and mobilize their people. Engaged employees are motivated to succeed, take pride in their company, are committed to the success of the enterprise and are extraordinarily persuasive brand advocates. Companies with engaged employees have: stock prices that outperform the S&P 500; reduced attrition; increased productivity; more revenue per employee, higher profitability and; reach corporate goals faster. As companies make tough decisions – including changes in leadership, business strategy, fiscal prudence, restructuring, layoffs, etc. – keeping existing employees engaged becomes even more critical. Our approach is to enable executives to communicate business changes and imperatives in a way that motivates employees to do what is necessary for the company’s success. This focused management of change results in employee commitment, a sense of inclusiveness and pride in the organization, which accelerate the achievement of corporate objectives. We build programs based on data gathered from employee input. With this information, we customize solutions that range from the development and execution of strategic change communication programs to leadership development. The Engagement Strategies team has experience increasing engagement for many global companies, including HP, Honeywell, Qualcomm, Amgen, Xilinx, Activision, Safeway & Sony Pictures Entertainment.
