Award-Winning Employee Engagement Programs
Ever wonder how award-winning businesses get their companies on lists like Fortune 100 Best Places to Work, or Glassdoor? We’ll give you a hint: their employees are happy to be there.
You’ve seen the overwhelming data, mostly from Gallup, on what what disengagement does to a company who doesn’t build a culture that leads to a satisfied, engaged and happy workforce. Those stats are a bit too dreary for us.
Analysis and Advice!
Let's skip the doom and gloom and focus on what to do about employee engagement.
Today. Right now.
By examining 8 of the highest ranking medium-sized companies, we’ve taken a fresh look at employee engagement programs that are doing things RIGHT to engage, retain and motivate employees. These companies challenge the status quo and are ranked by Glassdoor, Great Places to Work, and Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For.
Employee engagement doesn’t have to break the bank. In our matrix, you’ll see the various types of engagement tools, as well as their estimated levels of cost and time to implement.
Happiness Tip: When looking at this data, we want you to ask yourselves: what is the personality of my company and my employees? Are we silly, serious, introverted, gregarious, conservative, modern, health nuts, adventurous? How can we take this information and apply it to an employee engagement program that supports our culture?
Let’s have at it.

Award Winning Employee Engagement Programs
Matrix
From autonomy, flexible schedules, ongoing peer-to-peer recognition, financial support for education and healthcare, these companies are investing in their most lucrative asset: their employees. How do I get started?
Appreciation tactics like thank-yous and positive reinforcement are great ice-breakers to building a long-lasting, happy workplace. But for companies who want to take the leap into creating a culture that supports true motivation and a sense of pride at work, we recommend establishing an employee engagement program that offers the following:
• an easy, uplifting way for employees to be recognized • meaningful rewards for employee achievements• fun opportunities for employees to connect and bond• transparency of employee recognition, so everyone can celebrate
There you have it...
