Purpose + Passion = Productivity: Part 1

Finding your formula for success.

What’s the formula for engaging and empowering your workforce? It’s very simple, really: Purpose + Passion = Productivity . We’ve all heard, “Our employees are our most important asset,” and yet the latest Gallup research shows only 29% of employees are engaged .

In our next few posts, we’ll show you how that formula works, and how to apply it to your team - with concrete, actionable ideas - for having an immediate, positive impact on the levels of engagement and empowerment within your employees.

We want to help you:

• Clearly make the business case for the importance of employee engagement.
• Know what you can personally do to positively impact engagement and empowerment in your company.
• Create your 30-day plan for putting three things you learned into action.

Why is employee engagement so critical to the success of your business? Research indicates what common sense also dictates: employees who are engaged are more productive and profitable, create stronger customer relationships, stay longer in the company, and are your best source of new ideas . The more people get to do the work they do best, the more engaged, productive, and satisfied they are at work.

So how can you personally impact your employees’ engagement and empowerment in a positive way? By learning the unique qualities, strengths, gifts, and weaknesses of all the members of your team. Once you have that knowledge, and your employees feel respected and valued, you’ll find it easier to capitalize on each team member’s unique attributes.

In our next post, we’ll talk about the 3 P’s of engagement and empowerment. The goal is to make you the best manager your team could want, able to facilitate connections and creativity, and empower your team to do great things. We will help you find your own creative spark, so that you can inspire and motivate others to a higher level of performance and job satisfaction.
