Happy Employees: The Secret to a Healthy Bottom Line?

DENVER, May 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Studies have shown that employees who are happy and engaged in their work are more likely to deliver satisfying customer experiences, but in a time when the pressure to improve profits is high, many companies have turned their attention away from their employees. The results are staggering—recent research shows that only 13 percent of employees are enthusiastic about, and committed to, their work.¹

In an attempt to combat this trend and drive exceptional customer service, top brands have started to raise wages. The truth is that increasing pay is just one piece of the puzzle to building employee engagement. This month, TeleTech's Dialogue eNewsletter takes a close look at the obstacles facing employee engagement, and uncovers tips for overcoming them.  

The May issue includes:

• A look at seven mistakes that undermine employee engagement strategies.
• An essay from the e-book, The Technology of Us, which explains the steps employers can take to embrace new modes of work and new types of workers.
• A five-step guide for bringing a company's employee learning program to the next level.
• An exploration of the obstacles preventing companies from achieving happiness in the workplace, and the steps that can be taken to drive change.
• A look at the reasons why it is so important to implement programs and strategies that support employee growth and education.
• An infographic that illustrates the latest trends in employee engagement and how companies are reacting to the changes.
