The power is in your people

By Steve Smith, managing director, Anthem Engagement.

Right now, 196,000 people in the North West do not intend to be working in their current job within the next 12 months.

32% of all North West employees think that their team is not well led, 46% think that senior leaders do not provide strong leadership and 42% get no feedback on their performance.

These truths paint an alarming picture of employee engagement within North West businesses.

It’s a fact that the North West is one of the lowest engaged places to work in the UK.

Your biggest source of competitive advantage is your people, and by working with you and your leadership team we can pinpoint your truths to help you celebrate and accelerate what you do well, but also help you better engage with your people to increase productivity and make your business a great place to work.

Fact 3: Your customers will be more loyal when dealing with engaged people.

Fact 4: On average, a fully engaged customer will spend 23% more.
