Employee Engagement

| Productivity | Profitability | Customer Satisfaction |


"Employees will only complain or make suggestions three times on the average without a response. After that they conclude that if they don't keep quiet they will be thought to be troublemakers or that management doesn't care."

                             - Peter Drucker, Business Guru


Why Is It Important to Have an Engaged Workforce?



Report by the U.S. Labor Dept released in 2009 highlighted Singapore with the steepest productivity decline, and lowest increase in hourly wages in 2007 – 2008 among 17 developed countries in the world. Singapore also ranked second highest increase in manufacturing cost and manufacturing hour.

On shore, the Singapore Economic Strategies Committee recommended that Singapore should target higher productivity growth of 2% to 3% each year to stay competitive in the international market.

Naturally, many businesses would think to increase productivity would be to invest in state-of-the-art equipments and machineries and spend more to up the skills of employees. Before your company makes that decision, we would like you to consider again. Are these improvements really going to translate into higher productivity and ROI (Returns on Investment)? Is everyone in the company committed to change? Are employees engaged enough to push for higher productivity?

Numerous international studies have shown that engaging employees is the most important way to increase productivity and profitability in today's increasingly competitive world.  If you like to read more about employee engagement, you may like to view our employee engagement article: Happy Employees, Happy Customers.

Disengagement has cost Singapore economy between $4.9 to 6 billion.
