Engagement and Culture

Challenges

Strong employee engagement and a high-performance culture are crucial to the achievement of sustainable competitive advantage. Because the current economic environment can directly affect employee engagement and company culture, firms must answer several important questions:

• How can we find ways to keep employees engaged in order to come out of the economic crisis even stronger?
• What key steps can we take to address employee engagement issue?
• Why is it important to maintain employee engagement? What are the consequences if we do not?
• How can we preserve the company's culture while still pursuing major cost-cutting initiatives?
• How can we determine if we have the right culture to achieve our strategic objectives?
• What levers can we pull to move from our current culture to our desired culture?
