Velvet revolution in the workplace – the rise of employee engagement, the demise of command & control

A velvet revolution is taking place in the workplace and it is gathering pace. The rise of ‘the right kind' of employee engagement continues despite what is referred to as the worst downturn for decades.

 

Key conclusions from our independent research are:

 

• There is increased evidence that well governed ‘power sharing' is the primary driver for employee engagement

 

• There is substantial benefit for those who engage well, enhancement is reported in personal performance ‘going the extra mile', personal motivation and job satisfaction

 

• Engaged employees report higher levels of customer service, financial returns, market advancement and comparative peer performance for their organisations than those who are not engaged

 

• Effective engagement leads to substantial brand and product advocacy by employees and results in attraction and retention of top talent

 

• There remains great scope to build competitive advantage through improved employee engagement

 

• Large FTSE and public sector organisations face more challenges in enhancing levels of employee engagement that smaller organisations and charities where workers identify in the moral mission

 

• Engagement is primarily brought about by the behaviours of leaders and managers – the research has validated Engage for Change's leadership and capability skills set

 

• Investment in employee engagement is rising and it remains a high priority in the Board room

 

• Measuring engagement does not lead to improvement in employee engagement effectiveness
