What is in it for our organisation?

 

Three big wins for your organisation include:

By implementing the seven ways to get started, you can get a picture of what your organisation looks like, where people are, and how they are feeling. By understanding this and implementing the appropriate interventions, there are huge benefits:

1. Business Benefits. Reduced absence rates, less bullying and a better HR process. It will also increase productivity levels as people are generally happier with morale levels higher.
2. There is a greater opportunity to access a wider talent pool. The image of your business improves as people see you as a good place to work. This means more people from diverse backgrounds applying for positions, widening the pool of talent accessible to you.
3. Benefits to the community too, as people who work together happily will take their understanding and co-operation into their communities.

"In a previous job I worked in an area where a large manufacturer closed down. I found that people created a support network for those affected directly by the closure. You had some people whose partners had lost jobs who had to advise others who had lost their jobs. Yet this had a positive effect in that it built relationships with people as you developed a greater understanding of them outside of the workplace."
