Understand how employee engagement affects your organization's success
In a 2008 interview, Brad Bird - the Academy Award-winning filmmaker behind The Incredibles and Ratatouille - made the poignant observation that production team morale ‘has the most significant impact on a movie’s budget - but never shows up in a budget.’
He even went on to propose a quantification of the impact morale can have:
“If you have low morale, for every $1 you spend, you get about 25 cents of value. If you have high morale, for every $1 you spend, you get about $3 of value. Companies should pay much more attention to morale.”
Intuitively, Mr Bird’s advice strikes a chord: it seems right that having a positive and actively engaged workforce should be a good thing. But does it really have the bottom line implications that Mr Bird suggests? The Impact of Engagement Whitepaper explores research on productivity, inventory shrinkage, staff retention and more to find the answer.
