Employee engagement is a lot of hard work, but when done right brings about higher satisfaction, retention, productivity, loyalty, and lesser sick days. Active engagement on the employee front can be brought about by proactive planning on the business front. Employees attend several types of corporate events for networking (82%), learning (71%), entertainment (38%), Self-improvement (37%), and time out of the office (16%).
Every event and activity planned under a company’s engagement strategy must cover all aspects and must leave as little or no room for confusion or questions. From on-boarding to conducting community events to celebrating employees and milestones, every campaign must be well-thought-out and all-inclusive. You don’t need a third party to plan it out, nor do you need extra resources to execute.
Planning and execution, you can do it all on your internal engagement and communications platform.
