If you’re not optimizing employee engagement, you’re leaving money on the table.

That’s not a slogan – it’s data. In Gallup’s latest meta-analysis of the Q12 engagement survey — covering over 183,000 business units and 3.3 million employees — the numbers prove it. Engagement is more than a “nice to have.” It drives big-time business outcomes.

Here are comparisons in key performance areas between high-engagement and low-engagement companies that participated in the survey:

• Profitability is 23% higher in the top engagement companies

• Productivity is 18% greater

• Safety incidents are 64% fewer

• Turnover is 43% lower

• Absenteeism is 81% lower

• Quality defects are 41% fewer

One of the most effective ways to generate results like that is through dedicated processes for engaging employees in Systematic Continuous Improvement (SCI). When employees are invited to join in structured routines to share countless small savings and gains, they see their voices matter, their involvement deepens, and the improvements flow.

If you’d like to see how SCI can raise engagement and bottom-line performance in your organization, let’s schedule a call and explore how to translate the Gallup numbers into your own high-performing results.
