Everybody wins when a business is engaged
By Brian Broadbent
Visionary business leaders adopt workplace cultures that emphasize care, appreciation, professional development, trust and empowerment for their people.
These are vital elements for a high-powered workforce; they positively impact employee retention, innovation, customer service and customer satisfaction.
A key to this positive environment is greater community engagement.
Community volunteerism, especially when individuals themselves select the programs and organizations they will serve, instills a higher sense of meaning and increased levels of engagement.
Positive employee engagement is dependent upon both the vision articulated by corporate leaders and the professional growth one feels at their work.
