As a business owner, always remember that your people are your most valuable asset. You want them to be involved in the company, not simply show up every day, but to be recognized and appreciated for the work and effort they put in. However, far too many leaders do not regard their employees. They frequently neglect them, fail to listen to their ideas or provide feedback, or, worse, micromanage. (We have already discussed these barriers to employee engagement and how to overcome them here.)

It’s essential to recognize that overcoming employee engagement barriers will cause various benefits. Companies that invest in their employees enjoy tangible benefits, including improved financial standing.

THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Reduce Cost and Increase Retention

Building employee engagement should be one of your company’s primary objectives. Employee engagement begins the moment a candidate applies for a job. In this way your future employees from the beginning are involved and vested in your company, which help them gain responsibility, motivation, and purpose. The problem with not engaging quality applicants from the start, is that you may end up hiring people that are not a good fit for your company, resulting in low productivity and a high turnover rate. This creates an issue of costs, the more people replaced, the greater your overhead costs. Now more money is spent advertising positions, using billable hours for interviews, and incurring administrative fees with each new hiring.

This issue of recruitment costs and other sources of increased costs can be remedied by implementing practical employee engagement approaches. The goal is to engage employees and limit turnover, which will result in lower costs and a higher profit margin for the organization.

Increase Productivity and Profitability

Employee engagement is a rich opportunity for executives to pursue to generate a double-digit increase in profits. When a company invests in quality employee engagement, it will decimate waste and inefficiency while increasing productivity and revenues.

People who enjoy doing their jobs are entirely invested in doing their best and achieving the desired results. The goal of any company is to increase employee retention, loyalty, and productivity. When employee involvement rises, so does productivity, which enhances the organization’s financial standing.
