Thank Goodness it’s Monday!
Turning on your people – even in tough times
Fiona Narburgh Head of Strategy & Communications for WychavonAnd film maker!
• Take us through the Wychavon story
• Why bother? The business case for engagement
• What to do – ideas on leadership, comms and performance
• Tips to survive and thrive
Today I will …
• Performing organisations = engaged staff, going the extra
• With strong leadership and good management
• With open trusted communications
• Where staff are valued and thus deliver
• Because high staff engagement = high resident satisfaction
• Even more critical in this financial context
My message is quite simple…
• 2007 LGC Council of the Year
• 2008 Times Best Council to Work For; 11th best satisfaction with council, 9th best for VFM in UK Place Survey
• 2009 Top rating for VFM; 8th lowest council tax in Country
• 2010 Customer Service Excellence and IIP Gold and Champion
• 2011 Up 10pts on Value for Money satisfaction in Worcestershire Local Place Survey
The good times…
The bad times …
Where we were
• Performance was average• Inspection meant interference • Staff weren’t proud to work here• Customer service was patchy• Departments did their own thing
A middle England, mediocre council
So what makes the difference?
“… our strong performance is all down to the engagement of our people; we
simply couldn’t deliver the great deal residents expect from us without the
motivated team we now have.”
Jack Hegarty, Managing Director

According to Ipsos Mori…
An example of active disengagement(MacLeod and Clarke)
Engaging for Success, MacLeod and Clarke, 2009
The case for Engagement 1
• Gallup; engagement predicts sickness 2.7 days/yr engaged, 6.2 days/yr disengaged.
• Towers Perrin; 75% of engaged staff believe they can impact costs, quality and customer service. Only 25% of disengaged believe they can.
• PricewaterhouseCoopers; strong correlation between highly engaged staff and client satisfaction.
• Chartered Management Institute; significant association with
between engagement and innovation.
Engaging for Success, MacLeod and Clarke, 2009
The case for Engagement 2
• Corporate Leadership Council; engaged employees less likely to leave. Engaged organisations grew profits 3 times faster than competitors.
• Institute of Employment Studies; established link between employee satisfaction, customer satisfaction and increases in sales
• Hay Group; engaged employees generate 43% more revenue than disengaged ones
• Best Companies to Work for; companies increased their profits by 315%
So let’s do a whirlwind tour of
some of the practical things that help the most ….
• More inspiration, less command and control• Freedom and autonomy to manage• Clear strategy, rooted in community concerns• Strong brand - clarity on what we stand for • Managers as role models • Appreciate each other’s strengths• Listening to staff opinion

meetings, briefings• Wellbeing package – subsidised gym, health MOTs, creche, PMI,

3. Performance and wellbeing matters
Global Corporate Challenge (pedometer challenge)
Better not busier (our approach to lean/ transformation)

• Communications/ involvement – creative, upbeat, honest, suggestions welcomed, lots of ways to involve and contribute too
