Employee Engagement Training & Consulting For Long-Term Success

Why Employee Engagement Matters

In today’s competitive market, every organization’s success depends on its employees’ engagement. Engagement is the extent to which an employee commits to something or someone in their organization, and can manifest in how hard they work, their level of commitment to their company’s mission statement, or as dedication to making a positive contribution to their team.

According to the Society for Human Resource Management (2021), high levels of employee engagement can:

  • Promote retention of talent
  • Foster customer loyalty
  • Improve organizational performance and stakeholder value

Getting to this point is a collaborative effort between the employee and the organization — aided in large part by effective training.

TWI Institute offers Job Relations (JR), a training program that leads supervisors and managers in developing skills to engage employees. JR is designed to help workers feel valued and respected because they know their work is appreciated and their ideas are heard. The program can also support a work environment that embodies psychological safety, where employees feel comfortable voicing their needs to their supervisor. This mutual trust fosters a workforce of people authentically committed to the success of their organization.

Employees who are not actively engaged at work pose certain risks to their organization, including lower productivity, lower morale, lower product quality, dissatisfied customers and ultimately a loss of revenue. Disengaged employees can also negatively influence workforce morale, which further exacerbates these issues and can lead to increased turnover.
