     Engaged employees maintain much better relations with your customers. They consider the communications
     with and understanding of customers to be excellent in no less than 98% of all instances.

2   Loyal builders of the future
     Engaged employees have no intention to leave the company. At the same time you ensure that your
     investment in your human capital bears profit in the future and that your organisation's continuity is assured.

3   Productivity
    Engaged employees perform better.
    Growth and engagement go hand in hand.

4   Lower costs
     Engagement also offers advantages on the expenses side. Dissatisfied employees are absent twice as often from
     work as their engaged colleagues and have a substantially greater intention to leave the company. The costs of
     absenteeism and employee turnover are huge and therefore an even bigger reason to develop engagement.




    Sick leave
    Dissatisfied employees are sick twice as often as engaged employees



                                                                   number of sick days

5         Innovation & optimisation
           Employee engagement drives innovation and optimisation. It is no surprise that in traditional organisations the
           number of engaged employees is 8 times less than in innovative organisations.




    Innovative organisation    7%                            69%                                    24%

6         Image & reputation
           And finally, engaged employees help you build your image.
           They will actively promote their organisation in their own surroundings.

«Social Business»
A business philosophy that emphasizes employee trust and
autonomy as an alternative to hierarchical command and control
management. Additionally, the philosophy views customers and
business partners as trusted components of the organization,
not as external constituents.

The philosophy should be supported by appropriate organizational
design, culture, business process, and technology strategies
and investments.
