Workplace Fun Equals Engagement

May 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Engaging employees could be as easy as simply letting them have a little fun.  According to HR Solutions’ National Normative Database, Employee Engagement is closely linked with company culture and colleague relationships.  Data shows people who enjoy their workplace environment are more positive about their position and company, have higher levels of Engagement, and are less likely to think about resigning.  

Recently, many companies have begun providing unique benefits to create a Magnetic Culture® that attracts and retains an organization’s best talent.  The idea behind this philosophy is that Engaged Employees work harder and produce higher quality work than Disengaged Employees.  Creating a fun environment to increase Engagement makes good business sense.  Studies have shown implementing small and inexpensive changes can drastically affect Employee Engagement.  

The best way for a company to find out what their employees want is to ask.  Anonymous surveys or focus groups are great vehicles through which organizations can receive employee input to make improvements.  When a company takes the time to find out what is important to their employees and instills fun into the workplace, management can thereby create a Magnetic Culture® where top-notch employees can thrive.
