This means that while they may be physically present and doing the job they\u2019re paid to do, they\u2019re not living up to their full potential or delivering their best performance. <a href=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/employee-activation\/building-employee-engagement-through-marketing-6-ideas-to-motivate-your-team\/\">Improving employee engagement<\/a> should be a key aim for businesses of any size. Better engagement not only results in higher productivity, but also happier and healthier employees, fewer sick days, and lower staff turnover.<\/p>\n<p>As the millennial generation already makes up the largest segment of the U.S. workforce, keeping employee engagement levels high is more important than ever before. A good salary and benefits package is no longer enough to keep your best employees \u2013 millennials\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/236474\/millennials-job-hopping-generation.aspx\">change jobs more frequently<\/a>\u00a0than any other generation before them and value company ethics, transparency, and a good work-life balance over traditional job perks.<\/p>\n<p>And perhaps even more importantly, an engaged workforce could be the key to building brand reputation and trust in a world that\u2019s become increasingly suspicious of traditional advertising.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Quick Takeaways:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>An engaged workforce is happier, healthier, more productive, and more profitable.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Traditional salary and benefits packages aren\u2019t enough to keep today\u2019s employees happy.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Engaged employees can be your loudest and most dedicated brand ambassadors.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 621px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/infographic2013flyerna-1-638.jpg\"  alt=\"Infographic2013flyerna 1 638\" width=\"621\" height=\"804\" data-image=\"33236\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/NevilleDeLucia\/infographic2013flyerna-57500751\">https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/NevilleDeLucia\/infographic2013flyerna-57500751<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Increased Profit and Productivity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>According to researchers&#8217; estimates, disengaged employees cost US businesses\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shiftboard.com\/blog\/real-cost-employee-disengagement\/\">$450 &#8211; $550 billion annually<\/a>. These losses are down to lost productivity, lost days and work hours due to sickness and lateness, disruption due to workplace negativity, and increased staff turnover.<\/p>\n<p>On the positive side, employee engagement is actually\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/241649\/employee-engagement-rise.aspx\">on the rise in the US<\/a>\u00a0due to an improving economy and better understanding of how to increase employee satisfaction. This is great news because engaged employees not only make for a happier workplace, but a more profitable one too \u2013 companies with engaged employees outperform those without by over 200%.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Better Communication and Work Relationships<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A toxic workplace isn\u2019t good for employees at any level, and it\u2019s not good for the business&#8217;s bottom line, either.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/content-marketing\/3-common-leadership-mistakes-cmos-make\/\">Strong leadership<\/a>\u00a0and positive employee relationships are essential in keeping people happy and motivated at work, as well as making them feel part of a team in which they want to strive to achieve a common goal.<\/p>\n<p>80% of employees dissatisfied with their line manager are disengaged at work, and 70% of those who lack confidence in senior leadership are not fully engaged.<\/p>\n<p>A culture supportive of career progression, open communication channels, and transparency at work can all help to build better workplace relationships and increased employee engagement.<\/p>\n<p>For example, social media company Buffer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/transparency\" class=\"broken_link\">cites transparency as one of its key brand values<\/a>, with fully public salaries and the formula that goes into them being part of its commitment to transparency. This means that each employee understands how his or her salary is calculated, reducing frustration and making it clear to each person how they can progress within the company rather than leaving for a higher salary elsewhere.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Reduced Staff Turnover and Loss of Skills and Experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Businesses spend $11 billion a year on recruiting and training new staff due to staff turnover alone. Reducing staff turnover levels is not only important for financial reasons, but also to prevent the loss of valuable skills, knowledge, and experience.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 619px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/employee-turnover-cost-caculations.jpg\"  alt=\"Employee Turnover Cost Caculations\" width=\"619\" height=\"437\" data-image=\"33237\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">image source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teambonding.com\/employee-turnover-formula\/\">https:\/\/www.teambonding.com\/employee-turnover-formula\/<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teambonding.com\/employee-turnover-formula\/\">Each<\/a>\u00a0time a valuable employee leaves your company, they\u2019ll take their skills and experience with them. Replacing each person can take a huge amount of time, money, and resources in recruitment and training, not to mention the lost productivity in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p>So when you\u2019ve found great employees, it makes sense to do all you can to keep them. However, this is becoming more challenging. As already mentioned, the millennial generation doesn\u2019t aim to stay in the same company for the majority of their career. In fact, over half of all employees under the age of 35 have had\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/theyec\/2018\/03\/23\/why-your-millennials-are-leaving-and-how-to-keep-them\/#11d381211e87\">at least three jobs<\/a>\u00a0since the start of their career.<\/p>\n<p>And getting them to stay isn\u2019t as easy as providing a competitive salary and an on-site gym either. Today\u2019s working generation value flexible hours, a great work atmosphere, and working for a business they are proud to be a part of \u2013 90% of millennials say they would consider taking a pay cut to work for a company whose\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2018\/06\/27\/nearly-9-out-of-10-millennials-would-consider-a-pay-cut-to-get-this.html\">mission and values align with their own<\/a>. This is the key to true employee engagement in 2019 and beyond \u2013 54% of employees who are proud of their company\u2019s contributions to society are engaged at work.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why Your Employees Are the Key to Your Influencer Marketing Strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Influencer marketing has grown rapidly over the past few years as brands realize that consumers value authenticity and the opinions of \u201creal\u201d people over traditional advertising.<\/p>\n<p>However,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/influencer-marketing\/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-social-media-influencer\/\">social media influencers<\/a>\u00a0have started to come under fire as they take on more and more brand collaborations, many of which don\u2019t seem to align with their values. Influencers have become just as untrustworthy as ads on television or in magazines for many.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t mean that influencer marketing is dead, but we\u2019re now discovering a new breed of influencer \u2013 the employee advocate.<\/p>\n<p>Employee advocates promote the organization and represent the brand. This may be via social media or a <a href=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/employee-activation\/why-employee-engagement-is-the-new-content-marketing-strategy\/\">planned employee engagement content marketing strategy<\/a> but is often spontaneous and natural when employees are truly engaged at work and believe in the brand they\u2019re working on behalf of.<\/p>\n<p>Engaged employees are hard-working, loyal, and committed to business improvement and customer satisfaction.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/employee-activation\/the-service-profit-chain-employee-engagement\/\">Engaged and activated employees deliver more value both to the company and its customers<\/a>. Who better to sing the praises of your organization than an employee who truly believes in the value of what you\u2019re trying to achieve?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s therefore vital to invest in employee engagement for staff at all levels. The rewards an engaged workforce brings go well beyond a simple calculation of ROI.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you are ready to get more traffic to your site with quality content that&#8217;s consistently published, check out our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/marketinginsidergroup.com\/content-builder-service\/\">Content Builder Service<\/a>.
