What I Do:I utilize people analytics and leadership development to help organizations improve employee engagement. Why I Do It: When leaders create a culture that empowers employees to thrive, the impact is experienced at every level in the organization. According to Gallup, that cost of disengaged employees for U.S. companies is $450-$550 billion each year. Unfortunately, just 30% of American workers are engaged at their jobs with 52% indicating they are “checked out.” Highly engaged workplaces have 81% lower absenteeism, are 23% more profitable, experience 63% fewer safety incidents, and have 43% lower turnover than less engaged businesses. How I Do It:Step 1: Capture an Organization’s People AnalyticsLedgestone’s Employee Insite is a proprietary assessment that measures how employees experience the leadership and culture in six dimensions: Security, Connection, Alignment, Purpose, Value, and Accomplishment. Ledgestone’s data science team analyzes how employees perceive the organization’s performance in these areas and the importance of each dimension to the employee. Step 2: Provide Organization with an Employee Engagement Solution Pathway I create a pathway for leaders to leverage the data analysis with an actionable plan to increase employee engagement. These pathways are customized for each organization based upon the organization’s people analytics, leadership, and organizational structure. Step 3: Train and Develop the Leaders to Actualize the Employee Engagement Solution Pathway I provide tailored training and development for the leadership team, which helps leaders understand the drivers of employee engagement. Additionally, I facilitate intensives with the leadership teams to enhance the effectiveness of the executives to drive organizational change. Who I Do It For:I work with any organization seeking to reap the organizational benefits that come when employees are thriving and fully engaged. I help organizations of all different sizes to achieve these outcomes in various sectors and industries.
