This week Fortune Magazine and Hay Group released the fourteenth annual World’s Most Admired Companies list. Not surprisingly, employee engagement and innovation are key to sustaining performance. These companies have come out of a recession by leveraging resources across all levels, not just executive leadership.
This focus on maximizing employee discretionary contributions is the subject of TBA Global’s Employee Engagement whitepaper, available as a free download here.
From Bulldog Reporter: “Engaging Employees to Increase Productivity. According to Hay Group’s research, efficiency and effectiveness are priorities for the WMAC and peer companies alike. However, among the WMAC, employees at all levels are more likely to be encouraged to take reasonable risks in an attempt to increase organizational effectiveness (94 percent vs. 77 percent). Moreover, the WMAC make a stronger effort to solicit ideas from employees for increasing efficiency (91 percent vs. 76 percent).”
