People Dividend
Boosting employee engagement

Overview

Physical exercise can make your muscles strong and your body fit. Mental activity can be just as beneficial for the brain. People in full-time employment can spend more than 40% of their weekly waking hours at work. Therefore, people need to find work stimulating, enjoyable and purposeful.

People need to understand their purpose and the purpose of the organisation they work for.

Designing a workplace requires leaders to adopt a new mindset about employee needs, as well as new strategies and tools to keep the team focused, engaged and energised. Now more than ever, organisations need to reflect on the ways in which they can support their employees to be able to work and feel their best and keep teams engaged and productive.

A disengaged staff can have a significantly negative effect on productivity, customer service levels and retention.

Business has the potential to be the greatest mechanism on the planet to enhance humanity, if it can galvanise purpose-led leadership to generate Good Dividends. People is one of the six areas of value in the Good Dividends business model.
