Inclusivity plays a significant role in enhancing employee engagement, as detailed in our recent "Enhancing Employee Experiences in Aotearoa New Zealand" report. Louisa Dallow from the experience theory and I found that workplace cultures vary widely – from 'collaborative, supportive, inclusive' to 'toxic and intimidating.' This diversity underscores the pressing need to transform inclusivity from an abstract goal into a day-to-day reality.   Our study also sheds light on the critical role of empathy in leadership. Increasingly, leaders understand that empathy is key to developing teams that are inclusive, supportive, and highly motivated. Organisations that prioritise empathetic leadership and value diverse viewpoints boost morale and lead in innovation and customer satisfaction.   How are your teams promoting an inclusive and supportive culture?

Thanks to everyone who attended our virtual coffee chat, Unlocking DEI Budget Dollars: Strategies for Prioritizing Inclusion in Resource-Constrained Environments, last week! We heard from several people who are leading a "department of one," and maybe you can relate. It's not always easy to get the feedback and the buy-in you need, but it's so important. One of our participants said she expanded her steering committee to include someone from every division and invites them to come to meetings with ideas. She also connects with employees regularly to ask for input and further develop those ideas. Measuring employee retention, engagement and other metrics can also help you demonstrate the impact of DEI initiatives. Here's a helpful tool to refer to the next time you're trying to build your case!  #DEIB #diversityequityinclusionandbelonging #DEIbudget

Employee engagement is a critical driver of productivity, innovation, and retention in today's competitive business environment. Engaged employees demonstrate a 21% increase in productivity, contributing directly to enhanced work output and quality. Additionally, they are 58% less likely to leave their jobs, significantly reducing turnover rates and associated costs. This heightened commitment also fosters a culture ripe for creativity and innovation, as engaged employees are more likely to contribute fresh ideas and solutions. Beyond improving internal operations, these employees act as brand ambassadors, positively impacting the company's reputation by 21%. Despite these benefits, only 36% of employees globally are engaged, underscoring the urgent need for organizations to adopt effective engagement strategies. These include encouraging skills-based volunteering, fostering open communication, recognizing and rewarding contributions, offering professional development opportunities, and ensuring employees connect with the company's mission and values. #EmployeeEngagement #WorkplaceSuccess #Productivity #Innovation #BrandAdvocacy #Leadership
