Why Engauge?

We chose to rename our range ‘Engauge’ because it so aptly describes what we do. We understand that companies are only exceptional when they have exceptional people working for them. And they get (and keep) exceptional people, by working hard to engage their staff. And that doesn’t happen by accident. Its a deliberate and sustained process based on the right philosophy and a willingness to listen to their people.

Our Mission

We help our clients engage their people. Primarily, this means their staff, but the great thing about a company where staff are really tuned in to their work, is that customers get the benefits too. Engaged staff invariably lead to better performance at work, improvements in profit levels and more engaged customers. The Engagement Gauge will tell you what you need to get the best results from your people.

Creating a Remarkable Place to Work

Companies that really do engage their people give us powerful examples of the benefits. Talk to us if you want case studies on a couple of great examples. If you believe that business is about making money as well as enjoying the journey along the way, well then it really does make sense to create a remarkable place to work.

The Business Case

Engaged staff put in greater discretionary effort, working together for the benefit of the organisation. Two critical factors must be present for this to happen: staff must feel motivated to work together for the common goal, and they need to understand the needs of the business. Get these right and the resulting return on investment will be worth the effort.

Organisations with a consistently engaged workforce benefits from greater productivity, lower absenteeism and reduced staff turnover: a more effective employee-base, without an in increase in salary costs. Each of these improvements individually has a positive impact on the bottom line. In combination, the result can be more than the sum of its parts.

Watson Wyatt’s study of 115 companies (2006, 2008) found that companies with high levels of employee engagement typically had financial performance four times greater than those with poor employee motivation.
