Getting the Best of Your People

Why Zealise - Getting the Best of Your Human Capital. cartoon: Here's what you can do with your damned stick

The real challenge today for most businesses is to get the best from your people.

Developing and implementing strategies to compete in a globally competitive, fast changing world, you need to be able to count on everyone in your organisation to be pulling in the same direction. Unfortunately, this goal of organisational alignment or strategic alignment seems to be becoming more difficult rather than easier – despite all your best efforts.

Gallup Employee Engagement Index indicates 70% of US workers are disengaged Costing US business £300 billion a year in productivity losses! Watson Wyatt 2005 survey shows only 12% of UK workers are engaged And the figures for the rest of Europe aren't radically different!

Employee engagement is ultimately just a convenient heading for creating a framework to address the negative, employee disengagement, itself a collective term for categorising a number of different business problems that are rooted in people: Large circle - effort undelivered delivered by disengaged employees ie waste, small inner circle: effort delivered by disengaged employees

  • Poor quality
  • Poor customer service
  • Absenteeism
  • High staff turnover
  • Poor performance
  • Industrial tension
  • Etc.

When depicted graphically, you can see just why people management is such an important issue today.

Inevitably this human economic waste necessitates devoting considerable resources and a great deal of management effort to performance issues and managing people. Equally, you will often find these efforts frustrating because they are not meeting expectations.

This is because they are top down and:

  • Focused on fixing a symptom rather than the cause; and
  • Unintentionally undermined as a result!

Zealise understands this and that ultimately people management is about the way employees are treated. That is why any solely top-down initiatives – however necessary – will always have limited success and why our three-in-one solution revolutionises people management. Including a unique bottom-up element, it gets people and organisation working together as an effective team, delivering strategic alignment and organisational alignment, meeting and resolving employee engagement issues whilst helping you to dramatically reduce these wastage costs and so transform performance and improve bottom line results.

So, if you want to create the organisational zeal to dramatically improve results and manage your human capital more effectively, contact us immediately, to see how we can help.
