A Healthy-Workplace Gets You the Edge
in the War for Talent
Healthy-workplaces make all the difference in an era where social and global shifts have contributed to job uncertainty and the crisis in ethics and corporate integrity witnessed at the turn of this century. As talent shortages increase, company loyalty and employees willingly sacrificing their life-work balance for career promotions become a thing of the past.
Job Satisfaction a Key Factor
According to a 2002 Statistics Canada Workplace and Employee Survey, workplaces that: - value job satisfaction
- support work-life balance
- and encourage a friendly, supportive culture have fewer problems related to stress.
Yet, in 2002, only 31% of employers in Canada considered increasing employees' skills, and even fewer (23%) considered employee involvement as 'very important' or 'crucial' to their business strategy.
Employee Engagement as Indicator
Employee engagement is a leading indicator of financial performance, according to Watson Wyatt (2007). Companies that increase their engagement levels can expect to significantly improve their subsequent financial performance. Businesses with leaders who measure their professional success by employee morale and productivity are in good hands and well-positioned to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
Talent Retention - a Critical Success Factor
To attract and retain top talent in the 21st century, corporations need to become workplaces of choice.
