Everything DiSC – The human side of productivity from Business Reporter Film and Video on Vimeo.
Our workplaces are undergoing change at an unprecedented rate. We’re living in a new era of automation, disruption, and innovation, and it can be difficult to keep up. However, in the midst of uncertainty and change, employers need to pay attention to their most valuable resource: their people.
It’s no secret that many of the most successful and profitable companies are also those with highly engaged workforces. Yet too many organisations still need to be convinced of the benefits of an engaged workforce. According to Gallup’s recent State of the Global Workplace report, only 15 per cent of employees worldwide feel engaged in their jobs. That leaves 85 per cent of people who aren’t meeting their potential and feel disconnected from their organisations. So how can we do better?
First, we need to stop thinking that the term “employee engagement” is just another HR buzzword. Investing in people is a big win-win for both the employer and the employee. Employees choose to stay with companies where they feel valued and set up for success. They enjoy their job, are motivated to do well, and are more likely to recommend their organisation to others. This all helps contribute to a healthier and more positive company culture.
Before organisations can start seeing these benefits however, employee engagement needs to become an agreed priority that everyone invests in. It’s going to take more than a one-time classroom training event to make a long-term impact. It requires a shift in culture.
Implementing programmes such as Everything DiSC® into your organisation can have a significant impact on work culture. Everything DiSC solutions specifically focus on workplace communication and relationships. With Everything DiSC, participants gain an understanding about themselves and their colleagues, and discover strategies that can help them work better together. What makes this programme so unique is that it easily relates to people at all levels of an organisation, from entry-level employees to C-suite executives. The language of DiSC helps level the playing field and allows everyone to effectively communicate with each other.
In these uncertain times, organisations need to do more to show employees that they matter, and recognise that a key to workforce sustainability is making sure that we keep a focus on the human side of productivity.
