In a more difficult employment market and world economy at risk, it is crucialo that business maintains focused on the positives as to what can be achieved. If you have not read it, please consider the Macleod Report. which is a high quality report Commissioned by the previous government.
Many of the leading HR practiioners whom I have spoken to at Conferences and work, heartily recommend it.
The report asserts that wider delivery of employee engagement could have a positive impact on UK competitiveness and performance both during the downturn and in powering through to recovery. It concludes that while there are some excellent examples of good employee engagement, there are barriers to uptake, particularly amongst smaller businesses, and that Government can play a unique role in giving the subject profile, and bringing together role models with those who have delivery mechanisms and levers to help galvanise the collective effort.
