Look at the whole picture
Companies, countries, and institutions have studied “Employee Engagement” for
decades. It´s not a new topic, but it´s on the spotlight!
Thanks to the internet, there is a lot of useful information that you can find online such
as papers from early 1990´s until 2016, recent case studies from the top consulting firms
like McKinsey&Company, Boston Consulting Group, among others.
Information has become a very valuable resource for companies, because it has helped
them develop strategies in order to keep their employees engaged; nevertheless it has not
been enough, and instead of reducing the percentage of employees that are not engaged it
has increased radically!
Something is missing. Companies are not looking at the whole picture.
They had focused on productivity and profitability and had forgotten about the most
important asset they have: people. Companies must be working on strategies in order to
have their employees motivated, engaged and happy. By consequence, employees can help
the company achieve optimum results in order to take the company to the next level.
Understand people
It is easy to understand employees if we listen them. Those who have listened, are doing it
right! Those who have not listened, are wasting time and money.
There are some interesting insights that research has proven. Employees are very creative,
they want flexibility, they want to participate on decision taking, and they want to work on
something where they feel part of and that has a great impact on society.
Learn from the best
Companies
like DeliveringHappiness, Airbnb, Makerbot, Paypal, Change.org, Flip
kart, among others have created new job positions (Engagement Strategy Manager,
Happiness Manager, Engagement Manager, Chief Happiness Officer, Chief
People Officer, and Chief Employee Experience Officer) which main objective is
Employee Engagement, and where their main focus is people! Understanding their needs,
taking decisions based on what is best for them, providing the best tools to help them grow
in their personal and professional lives.
Technology has given us more time!
Technology has provided us the opportunity to develop amazing products, services and
effective solutions that allow us to reach more people globally.
We say we do not have time, so we need solutions that can be implemented quickly;
solutions that provide us accurate information that we can analyze fast and therefore take
better decisions and have better results immediately. It sounds utopic right? But it is
possible, and some have already take advantage of the opportunity. They have saved time
and money because they understood what companies needed.
Companies need online platforms where they can:
Visualize team´s engagement, understand their people, get feedback in order to improve,
collaborate with others, communicate, measure performance and become a community.
Engage, engage, and engage.
Successful Platforms
 Humanize raised 4 mi USD in Series A round led by Romulus
Capital.
 Peakon raised 4 mi Euros in Series A.
 There are others online which you can take a look
at: Wooboard, Wespire,SmartHub.
Think about it and “just do it”!
 Globally, the lack of employee engagement has increased.
 Investors are willing to invest their money on employee
engagement platforms.
 Companies need information about their people in order to
build strategies to keep them engaged.
 People need to participate, communicate and collaborate, they
need to grow and develop.
Wherever there is a need, there is a business opportunity! So what are you waiting for?
