According to Gallup, a large majority (70 percent!) of the American working population is not engaged at work. This is a missed opportunity for employers because engagement is an effective tool to boost bottom-line results through alignment and increased productivity. Most importantly, it builds a competitive employer brand that attracts, retains, and inspires top performers. This is why companies that achieve high engagement should be celebrated.
Today, we’re excited to announce the 50 Most Engaged Workplaces in Canada and the United States for 2013. This annual award recognizes top employers that display leadership and innovation in engaging their workplaces.
The Achievers 50 Most Engaged Workplaces™ Awards panel of judges evaluated each applicant based on the Eight Elements of Employee Engagement™: Communication, Leadership, Culture, Rewards & Recognition, Professional & Personal Growth, Accountability & Performance, Vision & Values and Corporate Social Responsibility. The panel of 14 judges included various thought leaders on employee engagement, and representation from organizations such as Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA), Human Capital Institute (HCI) and the Northern California HR Association.
Recipients of the Achievers 50 Most Engaged Workplaces™ Awards will be honored at award galas on March 6, 2014 in Toronto and on April 2, 2014 in San Francisco. We’re excited to congratulate all the winners!
