5. 03 Engagement correlates with
performance and translates into
bottom line profits
04 A number of studies of UK companies
have come to similar conclusions that less
than 30% of UK companies have an engaged
work workforce( e.g Yougov survey 2008)
01 A positive state of mind where
one feels energized, interested and
absorbed in one’s work
02 Research shows that high fliers
value interest and engagement at work
more than compensation

6. 03 Some people want direction:
others need support
04 On the job challenge is an
important follow up to engagement
01 How to give a technical person
the best experience to become a good
leader is an important task for all
organisations
02 Engaged employees must have
a choice in what happens. Sense of
autonomy is important to gain
commitment to action

7. 03 Focused development can be a
powerful individual motivator and a
good catalyst for change
04 Development should not be
thought of as a process of promoting
people. Development at its best is
moving people into their optimal roles
01 Development is critical for
ongoing engagement
02 Good training can and should
provide a focus for aligning the
capabilities of the workforce with
the company strategy

9. TMB is not just about training and
development. It is understanding the
clients business and their talent issues,
and tailoring a programme accordingly
01
The majority of TMB’s competitors
provide training to an initial brief
but do not involve themselves in
implementation and execution
02
The development of HP employees is a critical
success factor for all companies
03
The formula of Engage, Mobilise,
Develop forms a template to maximize
a company’s talent pool
04
Private Equity backed companies
absolutely need a people strategy to
enable them to prepare for eventual
sale. It is imperative for them, not
just a ‘nice to have’
05
A bespoke High Potential Employee programme can
be built and developed from previous experience.
