Engagement expert Vic Thorpe offers a simple lesson to raise productivity
According to the most recent Gallup report on the state of the global workplace only 15% of employees are actively engaged at work with two thirds reporting they are not engaged and a striking 18% actively working against their organisations. Employee engagement thus presents a potential opportunity for businesses as the companies with engagement scores in the top 25% outperform the laggards by 140%.
Our latest podcast guest, Vic Thorpe, brings many years working in labour relations across diverse national cultures and different types of company to help his clients solve challenging employee engagement problems, very often working at the back end of the supply chain where economic drivers can result in poor working conditions. His organisation, Just Solutions Network, helps organisations improve their overall performance by building a capability for more productive and more human interactions. In an interview with NextTen’s Nick Bush, he illustrates the challenges and solutions with some fascinating examples and offers a simple lesson that businesses can apply immediately.
