The work must be based on the given scenario
Assignment Questions Scenario Employee engagement is a longstanding “hot topic” in our industry and a key concern for corporations during trying economic times. Towers Watson’s World at Work 2009/2010 U.S. Strategic Rewards Survey results showed: • A nine percent decline in employee motivation since 2008 • 36 percent of top performers said their employer’s situation had worsened • 20 percent fewer people would recommend their company as a place to work
Despite the heightened focus, companies still struggle with these questions: Why invest in employee engagement? Where do you invest for the greatest impact? What’s the tangible business value of internal communication?
To address these questions, companies frequently establish basic perception measures (e.g. awareness, understanding). But those measures do not demonstrate a causal link between public relations programs and business metrics e.g. productivity, customer service, profit, market share. By public relations, we mean the development of communications strategies and tactics designed to foster relationships between an organization and its publics, in order to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.
Northwestern Mutual’s pioneering work addresses this challenge. Emerging from the global financial crisis, at a time requiring elevated employee performance, the company launched the “Motivated Workforce Pilot.” Using research and analytics, we identified a set of leadership behaviors- “soft” performance measures- that predict productivity at Northwestern Mutual. We tested and proved this link through a controlled pilot, making a case for the company’s future investment in employee engagement. This approach arms PR practitioners with a compelling example, demonstrating the impact of internal communications on business performance.
