ContinueStaff Engagement & Team Building
Do you sometimes feel your team aren’t giving their all? Are you frustrated at a seeming lack of enthusiasm from your colleagues? Does it sometimes feel like you’re on a one-person mission?
Asking yourself these kinds of questions can be a sign of a disengaged workforce. It’s no surprise that happy, engaged employees perform better, deliver higher levels of productivity and demonstrate commitment and loyalty to achieving a common business goal.
To drive business growth and profitability, your staff need to feel happy and engaged. Get this right, and you’ll reap the rewards.

Conducting employee surveys
Do you want to understand how you can create better engagement with your workforce to drive greater business results? It all starts with finding out what makes them tick; and what doesn’t.
Employee surveys are an ideal way to gain honest insight into the minds of your staff. The results of an employee survey can create opportunities for changes and improvements that help develop a culture of togetherness and create a common purpose across your team.
Howarths can create employee surveys for your business and manage the entire process; from compiling the questions, to issuing the survey and collating and evaluating the feedback.

Remember; your people are your business. For ambitious companies chasing growth, an effective employee engagement strategy is key to success.
Our expert HR team will work with you to get under the skin of your business, define what you want your culture to look like, and then design and implement a comprehensive employee engagement strategy to ensure your team is fully on board with getting you there.
Working with Howarths on employee engagement will create a thriving, happy, well-supported team, while at the same time helping reduce staff turnover and increase employee advocacy.
