My Company - The level of engagement employees feel with their job and organisation
My Company is what we call an ‘output’ factor, it focuses on people’s ‘love’ and ‘pride’ in working for your organisation.
Now unfortunately you can’t directly make people feel these emotions, but when all of the other seven factors are doing well, people will be far more likely to experience that love and pride ultimately improving the My Company factor as a result.
Employees enjoyed a gifted day off during October to mark mental health awareness month, openly sharing what they did to boost their wellbeing. This included long walks, duvet days and family time. In addition, all staff get a mindfulness app subscription and access to a full manager complement of Mental Health First Aiders.
An online social platform is the heart of company communication. As well as updates, it allows colleagues to get business-wide recognition and connect with colleagues across the UK. And an Employee Voice Champion Group feeds back to the MD and HR director about what the business is doing well and where it could improve.
New starters get a ‘riding the rollercoaster’ advice guide to help them prepare for their first three months, offering insight on common emotions – high and low – that a new job can bring. It encourages them to embrace positive thinking, be organised, set goals and invest in their own career development.
