Happy employees are your most important asset. It is time to invest in employer branding.
Finding talents to work for you is hard. Keeping them in your company is harder. The fact is that people no longer look only for a job that will help them pay their bills at the end of the month. Workers also want to be in a place where they feel they matter, which values resonate with their own, and where they can grow not only as professionals but also as people.
For managers and leaders, to fulfill all these requirements and engage employees is a complex task. But it pays off. Just take a look at what various researchers have found:
Increasing employee engagement investments by 10% can increase profits by $2,400 per employee, per year.
Companies with employee engagement programs achieve a 26% greater year-over-year increase in annual company revenue, compared to those who do not have formal programs.
Fewer than half (49%) of employees would recommend their employer to a friend.
So, engaging and motivating can lead to sales boost and easier recruiting. Why? Because satisfied employees become brand ambassadors and loyal company representatives, which can lead to sales and new clients in their social circles. And more than that, they also advertise open positions and help you in attracting great talents to join your workforce.
In other words, investing in your employees is the key to both Employee and Employer Branding. And our Challenges are a fantastic way to do it. Here is why:
They promote a healthy lifestyle.
Health habits are directly correlated with productivity and happiness. Exercises, for example, boost focus and attention and increase energy levels. By motivating people to be more active, our Challenges help you achieving not only a more engaged workforce but a more productive one also.
They strengthen teams.
No matter how good of an athlete you are: our Challenges are designed for the best team to win. It means that people encourage one another to get active and foster better relationships. And a sense of community is a crucial factor to have satisfied employees.
They are more than a one-day session.
Lots of companies treat teambuilding and employee investment as yearly events. Maybe a retreat, or an HR lead session. A Health Challenge is not like this. It is a 4 to 6 weeks long event that can engage people from every part of the company. This time component allows people to build relationships in such a way that one-day sessions just can’t.
In short, a Health Challenge can boost employee satisfaction for many reasons. And happy employees are one of your most important assets. They not only become brand ambassadors (employee branding) but also help you find the best talents (employer branding). After all, who does not want to work in an awesome company?
