NEWS IN BRIEF

Involving employees fully in the future of the firms they work for will be a key step if businesses are to innovate and take advantage of new opportunities, according to a report published last week.

The report – Engaging for Success: enhancing performance through employee engagement - recommended Government support and more cooperation by UK businesses (of all sizes) to make sure the relationship between employees and employers is at the centre of successful business plans.

Led by David MacLeod (an advisor on change management) and Nita Clarke (director of the Involvement and Participation Association), the review was commissioned last September by the Government.

The report includes the following recommendations:

• The Government should start a nationwide awareness raising campaign over the next eight months to expose the widest range of companies, businesses and organisations in the public, private and third sector to the potential benefits of employee engagement
• The Government and its agencies should work together to ensure their support is aligned and tailored to the needs of different organisations in different sectors of the economy seeking to enhance levels of employee engagement
• A range of more practical support for organisations who want to raise levels of employee engagement should be made available by March 2010. This support should be designed in consultation with businesses and other organisations to ensure it is tailored to their needs.
