Employee Engagement: Pivotal to Talent Management

When we work with clients we see that engagement plays as key a role in Talent Management as it does in Organisational Performance.
We all know the research and the resulting stats surrounding employee engagement: which show that a stronger engaged workforce will demonstrate an increase in productivity, a reduction absenteeism, a leap in creativity - but how often do we look at employee engagement as a critical component of our day-to-day talent management activities?
Without engagement in your appraisal and performance management processes, or your talent reviews or your succession planning programmes, any actions planned can become little more than tick-box, form filling exercises.
But how do you plan to increase this engagement - and indeed do you know from where you are starting?
Good questions - and ones we are help our clients to grapple with right now.
