In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, we delve into the critical topic of employee engagement and its profound impact on organisational success. Joined by Kon Apostolopoulos, founder and CEO of Fresh Biz Solutions, we explore the fundamentals of creating employee engagement.
Kon highlights the connection between engaged employees and improved productivity, profitability, retention rates, and higher performance. With engaged employees feeling driven to go above and beyond their job descriptions, enhancing your employee engagement is a no-brainer to enhance the success of your organisation. With only 1 in 5 people feeling engaged in their job, Kon shares how disengagement manifests at work, emphasising the importance of recognising this in remote workers too. Listen as Kon offers practical and actionable advice to leaders on how to go about increasing employee engagement. It all lies in the enrichment of our 4 fundamental needs as humans: to feel valued, connected, productive and supported to learn and grow.
Here is a link to Kon's new book The Engagement Blueprint: Building a Culture of Commitment and Performance: https://www.amazon.com/Engagement-Blueprint-Building-Commitment-Performance-ebook/dp/B0CW18FBTC/ref=zg_bs_g_10021499011_d_sccl_1/138-3110408-7652255?psc=1
