The evidence is compelling.
Survey after survey shows that companies perform better, innovate more and enjoy better workforce health and well-being when they trust and empower their employees. Yet less than 10% of UK companies are fully utilising the evidence-based workplace practices that generate these win-win benefits for their business and their employees.
So how do you create jobs and workplaces which enable your employees to realise their full potential – and to improve business competitiveness? Engaged and productive employees need jobs where they exercise high levels of autonomy and responsibility, providing them with fresh challenges and regular opportunities to learn, develop, and contribute to improvement and innovation.
Our speakers shared practical experience and evidence to show how this can be achieved in your organisation. Jen Suttie, HR Director at Skyscanner, demonstrated how this Scottish company maintained its start-up culture by empowering employees, encouraging everyone to innovate and experiment. Stephen Bevan, a leading expert on good practice in the workplace, explored the principles and practice behind job design and job crafting, and how they are transforming business practice.
