How healthy is your organization?

Clearly, financial health is a cornerstone to an organization’s capacity to deliver services, take care of employees, and fuel sustainable growth. Yet, if we measure only the balance sheet, we won’t have a true, holistic and sustainable picture of what defines a healthy, resilient organization.

Leaders also need to measure non-financial key performance indicators to give them a more balanced view of their organization’s well-being. These indicators define and shape your culture and your true brand.

Culture Drives Performance - The Value of Fully Engaging Your Employees

Gallup research indicates the difference in peformance between engaged and actively disengaged work units was significant. Work units in the top quartile in employee engagement outperformed bottom-quartile units by 10% on customer ratings, 22% in profitability and 21% in productivity.

Engaged employees:

• Feel a sense of ownership and pride in their organization

• Are energized, enthusiastic, accountable and self-motivated

• Become invested in their work - which leads to higher job satisfaction and a greater retention rate

• Generate ideas and exert voluntary effort to better their organization. This leads to higher revenues, cost savings, increased creativity and improved customer satisfaction

• Have higher morale and job performance, this leads to attracting more high performance talent

It’s a New World for Businesses. The pressure to maximize your organization’s performance has perhaps never been greater.  The economy over the last few years has created a renewed need for leaner and more effective organizations: customers expect more, companies need to do more with less (and faster), and competition is intensifying.  But – with the complexity and whirlwind of organizational dynamics – where does one start?
