Harvest and your business…
 


Every business or organisation relies on its people to make or deliver their goods and services.

Every person who has a role in an organisational process is contributing something. While you hope it is a positive contribution, there are no guarantees.

Organisations with engaged and focused employees will have an advantage over their competitors - the degree will depend on the market and the performance of competitors.

Once achieved, employee engagement is a difficult attribute to mimic, yet is a significant differentiator . . .

   
 
   
 

Are your employees in tune
with your business?
 


Do your people have a clear and effective understanding of what it is that they individually need to do, to help your business succeed?

Effective and consistent delivery forms an integral part of an organisation's reputation - consistently doing what you say you will is fundamental in building goodwill and trust.

Employee engagement is an easy thing to describe, achieving it requires a strategic discipline not dissimilar to building organisational relationships with external audiences -
it takes time, it takes effort and it rarely happens by accident.

How can improved communication
help your business?

  • Increased consistency across product and service delivery

  • Increased productivity and quality with minimal capital investment

  • Increased staff morale and retention with a greater pool of "discretionary effort" on call

  • Enhanced employer reputation leading to increased differentiation in often crowded and "me-too" markets

  • Greater confidence to make specific product or service claims public

  • Reduced absenteeism and workplace friction

  • Enhanced ability to be able to respond to customers and the market in general
   
 
 
   
 

Workplace Influencers
 

 

Employees are influenced by much more than traditional top-down information. The new model of cross-influence sees employees interacting with a broad group of new influencers, inside and outside the organisation - including media, customers and government. Ideas are continuously exchanged and views are re-examined as information ricochets

Internal influencers are more likely to be peers and supervisors than senior management.

The stronger the relationship, the greater the influence - Harvest's employee engagement activity focuses on strengthening the right relationships so that organisations get the greatest benefit
