Why a new approach to employee engagement will deliver significant productivity improvements

No matter what type of organisation you are running, as a business leader, you face an incessant demand to improve productivity, which you cascade down to your people. Unfortunately, the persistent demand loses its impact after a while, because:   

• The repetition becomes tedious  
• There is little or no appreciation for past improvements  
• The personal benefits tend to be disproportionately small

The demoralising aspects of this are further compounded by the top-down nature of the demands, which tend to:

• Stifle initiative
• Imply criticism of existing efforts
• Perpetuate traditional worker vs. management conflict.

Thus demands to increase productivity tend to become counter-productive, stifling the employee engagement that is essential for productivity improvement. So it seems reasonable to suggest that employee disengagement is likely to hinder your efforts to improve productivity improvement and thus increase your risk of failure or at best, to inhibit your longer term sustainability.

Consequently it is equally reasonable to suggest that lack of productivity improvement is a primary indicator of a lack of employee engagement.

The Zealise Assessment Programme (ZAP™) builds on this assumption. It helps you identify the key determinants of productivity improvement that you are missing and thereby to assess the level of employee engagement in your organisation and the action you need to take to redress this, and enhance your sustainability. 

The Zealise Integrity Programme (ZIP™) helps you move beyond assessment into the remedy. Building from the premise that poor productivity is a consequence of employee disengagement it logically concludes that improving employee engagement will inevitably lead to productivity improvement. Thus by accounting for people as human assets and offering the option of universal, no-cost, no-equity employee ownership, it inspires corporate cultural transformation that embeds employee engagement and so stimulates productivity improvements and improved customer service that creates a bottom-up force for continuous improvement, organisational integrity and hence your business  sustainability.
