Successful business leaders realize that having engaged employees is not an HR program, but a core business strategy. We know that companies with engaged employees outperform those with less engaged employees. Yet, according to Gallup, a staggering 87 percent of employees worldwide are not engaged.
A great workplace plays a key role in driving employee engagement. In order to design a workplace that successfully affects employee engagement you must think about it differently. In the last two decades, technology has completely transformed the way we work and the way we think about work. In essence, we are connected to our responsibilities at any time and no longer bound to physical workplaces, giving us the choice and freedom to work in many different environments and in many different ways. These changes have inevitably altered the way we think about work. We’ve moved beyond the office…. Work is an activity, not a place.
