Making a Difference
-70% of employees want to make a positive difference through their work. 1 In my research and consulting, employees who feel like they are making a difference at work invest up to 3 times more energy in tasks and are 2.5 times more productive. Read about these results in this Business Journal.
As you can see from this graph2, 88% of highly engaged employees believe they can positively impact the quality of their organization’s product and 63% of highly engaged employees believe they can affect the profitability of their organization.
You engage employees by motivating them, keeping them energized and giving them the opportunities to succeed and excel at work.
Stress
Currently, 62% of Americans are stressed about work3. This leads people to take mental health days and contributes to health care expenses costing employers $602/worker each year4. Engaged employees manage stress better5.
Improved Bottom Line
-Highly engaged employees generate 26% more revenue per employee and 13 percent higher total returns to shareholders6.
It makes business sense to have engaged employees.
Coaching is the Solution
Typically, businesses hire coaches to improve organizational culture and work with executives. This practice has been shown to have an ROI of 700%, an incredible result.7
Why not get those results with your employees with high potential for growth?
You have key contributors who are ready to invest more in your business.
Through Impact Coaching, employees make work personally meaningful. They see how they are having an impact. This increases their engagement and teaches them a different way to work. Other employees want to be around and contribute with engaged employees.
Engaged employees are committed, energized and the backbone of successful organizations.
