The EPS growth rate of top-quartile organizations (relative to the industry peers) was 2.6 times that of below-average organizations. This difference in EPS growth rate illustrates one of the principal benefits of building a critical mass of engaged employees, and one that we have observed repeatedly at the unit level. via gmj.gallup.com
There. EPS, Earnings Per Share Growth, is a pretty solid metric to measure the ROI of employee engagement.
Gallup is a pretty solid organization.
Their methodology is a pretty solid one.
Now, can we move on?
I still read where employee engagement is considered some sorta kumbayah, feel-good, pandering, new-age, management philosophy du jour.
It's not.
And the lack of engaged employees and the results it shows in our economy is anything less than du jour.
Our economy, and job growth, and home sales, and GDP...all those hard metrics are dependent on employee engagement. None of them will rise until employee engagement rises.
If you remain a little squishy about employee engagement or its necessity here are a few people who share not only a passion for its impact and the steps to create it but also share a lot of data that points to the ROI of employee engagement.
Each of their names are linked to a post I wrote that shared highlights from a conversation we had on my radio show. In each post are links to their books, their online sites, and the radio show.
Now it's up to you to engage.
