To Enhance Performance, Employee Happiness Isn’t Enough: Engagement Requires a System, Not Bells and Whistles

This report spells out the costs in specific terms and offers a system for addressing the engagement challenge. Hint: it's not a bright shiny object.

Research Documents Connection between Customer Engagement and Employee Experience
This report was published recently in the Harvard Business Review demonstrating what the authors feel is a surprising connection.

28 Year Study of Stock Returns of Companies That Are Great Places to Work
This study by Alex Edmans, Professor of Finance at the London Business School of the stock market results of Great Places to Work companies over 28 years finds a clear connection between stock performance and employee satisfaction.
 
The Enterprise Engagement Alliance Engaged Company Stock Index
The Engaged Company portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 (including dividends) by 37.1 percentage points between Oct. 1, 2012 and June 1, 2018, when the study was halted based on its consistent results. The Good Company portfolio created by McBassi Inc., an analytics firm, included 47 companies with combined high scores as employers, sellers, and stewards of the community and environment. The composition of the portfolio was periodically updated (for the last time on Jan. 31, 2017), based on updated data from the Good Company Index, before completion of the study.
 
Gallup Study: The $7.8 Billion Worldwide Cost of Low Engagement
Employees who are not engaged or who are actively disengaged cost the world $7.8 trillion in lost productivity, according to this Gallup's “State of the Global Workplace: 2022 Report”. That's equal to 11% of global GDP, according to the authors. In 2021, 21% of the world's employees were engaged at work. Although this is an increase of one percentage point from 2020, we have still not returned to our peak of 22% recorded in 2019.
 
“The Value of Employee Satisfaction in Disastrous Times: Evidence from COVID-19”
Further support for the impact of employee satisfaction and financial returns icomes from professors in China in a recently published study by Chenyu Shan and Dragon Yongjun Tang, (March 30, 2022).  It finds that “employee treatment is an important but challenging element of corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies. Satisfying employee needs can increase corporate productivity but is also costly to shareholders. Using unique data for Chinese publicly listed firms, we show that having satisfied employees is valuable to the firm. Specifically, firms with higher employee satisfaction scores withstand COVID-19 better, in terms of stock market performance, an effect that appears to occur in non-pandemic periods.
 
Putting the Service Profit Chain to Work
The service-profit chain establishes relationships between profitability, customer loyalty, and employee satisfaction, loyalty, and productivity. The links in the chain (which should be regarded as propositions) are as follows:
*Profit and growth are stimulated primarily by customer loyalty.
*Loyalty is a direct result of customer satisfaction.
*Satisfaction is largely influenced by the value of services provided to customers.
*Value is created by satisfied, loyal, and productive employees.
*Employee satisfaction, in turn, results primarily from high-quality support services and policies that enable employees to deliver results to customers." The article is authored by Harvard Business School Professors James L. Heskett, Thomas O. Jones, Gary W. Loveman, W. Earl Sasser, Jr., and Leonard A. Schlesinger.
 
The Surprising Economics of a People Business
This 2005 article in Harvard Business Review by Rainer Strack, Managing Partner Emeritus at the Boston Consulting Group, and Felix Barber, also a former Boston Consulting Group managing partner, makes the case for managing and measuring people as an asset rather than a sunk cost. They recommend replacing traditional metrics “with financially rigorous people-oriented metrics—for example, a reformulation of a conventional calculation of economic profit, such as EVA, so that you gauge people, rather than capital, productivity.” EVA (Economic Value Added), attempts to measure a firm's true economic profit after deducting an average cost-of-capital interest charge on the net assets used in the business, according to an article in the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance.
 
They continue, “Once you have assessed the business’s true performance, you need to enhance it operationally (be aware that relatively small changes in productivity can have a major impact on shareholder returns); reward it appropriately (push performance-related variable compensation schemes down into the organization); and price it advantageously (because economies of scale and experience tend to be less significant in people businesses, price products or services in ways that capture a share of the additional value created for customers).”
