Engaging your global workforce: aligning employees to business goals through rewards and recognition

According to the Towers Watson 2012 Global Workforce study, low levels of employee engagement lead to greater performance risks for global employers¹. Disengagement causes misalignment, poor productivity, high turnover, employee absenteeism, and ultimately—hardship for business. With today’s volatile economy, your global organization cannot afford to rehire, retrain, and recover from the loss of revenues resulting from low levels of engagement.

Furthermore, if there’s anything more challenging than sustaining loyal customers, it’s retaining engaged and happy employees. At the end of the day, it’s engaged employees that create happy customers and display key behaviors that in turn produce revenue. When employees are engaged, they give the discretionary effort required to hit your business goals. Top employers rely on global employee rewards and employee recognition to foster employee engagement and drive brilliant performance, while overcoming the challenges brought on by cultural barriers and geographically dispersed employees.
