Editor's Notes
These statistics are staggering, especially for the organizations bottom line. What do terms like “actively disengaged” mean to the organization? Those who are disconnected and actively disengaged bring down moral for the entire group. They are unwilling to help others or contribute to new projects, and often only do the bare minimum of what is assigned to them. These people have one foot out the door and are usually not shy about letting others, including those outside the company, know how they feel about their job. How can we battle against this negative trend? With simple gestures of thanks and recognition. *This statistic encompasses all costs to replace an employee and can, in some cases be much higher. These costs include, but are not limited to; cost to off-board employee (PC scrub time, lost productivity in final weeks, etc.) Cost-per-hire for the replacement, as figured by the ANSI/SHRM standard, Transition Costs, including cost of lost opportunities and the cost from disruption of workflow and productivity.***
Recognizing top talent, in the moment, with concise praise raises productivity, which benefits the organization as a whole. As we can see by the accompanying chart, the drop in the number of absences (37%), product defects (41%), safety incidents (48%) and shrinkage (28%) is significant. The more engaged and recognized the team working in your business is, the greater the potential for growth. Let’s take a look at some of these statistics in terms of revenues.
Based on a workforce of 250 people, and the universal average is 5.5 unplanned absent days per employee; costing an estimated $1118.05 to the employer. The decrease in number of absences directly affects the cost of operations for the business; taking the cost of unplanned absences from $279,512 to $175,612. Our productivity also increases, based on 150,000 units produced annually, we can see an increase in output of 31,000 units. What does that translate to in overall profitability? Based on our units, and the median price of $50 each; we see an increase from $7.5 M to $9.12 M. As we raise our engagement level, we gain so much more in the way of net growth. In fact, just the savings from lower shrinkage costs (usually about 6% of overall net profit, a savings of $126K in this example) is often many times more than the cost of a recognition program.
There are so many program solutions, which make it simple to connect with not just your employees but with end users and vendors as well. These programs capable of handling any program from the traditional rewards site to complex, multi-channel company stores, offering everything from uniforms pieces and promotional products to traditional and non-traditional awards. All in one comprehensive site.
With integrated reporting, you can track behavioral change and keep your recognition in line with relevant metrics and organizational goals. Keep your organization’s values and goals at the forefront of employees minds with meaningful recognition.
Recognition is most effective when it can happen in real time, which is why we’ve set up our programs to integrate with all forms of technology, so you don’t have to wait to say “Good Job!” With integrated reporting, you can track behavioral change and keep your recognition in line with relevant metrics and organizational goals. One of the most important things to remember when rewarding employees is making the reward relevant to them. Relevant rewards reinforces the company's commitment to goals, strategies and employees.
