In the SERVICEBRAND approach, Employee Engagement is the commitment of everyone representing the organization—whether direct employees, outsourced partners, contractors, or part-time staff—united by a shared passion for delivering exceptional service.
Platforms such as Brownie Points helps organizations nurture this commitment by providing a seamless, AI-enhanced recognition platform that ensures every contributor feels valued and motivated.
For engagement to truly thrive, inclusivity is non-negotiable. It must start at the top and reach every layer of the organization. Brownie Points bridges the gap, ensuring that engagement efforts extend beyond full-time employees to outsourced teams, part-timers, remote workers, and contractors—critical yet often overlooked contributors. These individuals frequently operate on the front lines, shaping customer experiences and influencing brand perception. Think about the corporate receptionist, the parking attendant, the call centre agent, the food server at an industry event, the delivery driver, or the IT engineer—every interaction they have represents your brand.
Reflection:
How engaged are you and your colleagues at work?… and what would help you feel more engaged?
Practical Insights: Recognition—The Best ROI You’ll Ever See
Studies show that only around 23% of employees worldwide are engaged at work. This means nearly 8 out of 10 employees are either disengaged or actively disengaged, costing businesses significantly in productivity, morale, and retention. The economic impact is staggering—disengagement is estimated to cost the global economy $8.8 trillion annually.
Organizations must shift their mindset—engagement isn’t just an HR initiative, it’s a strategic necessity. Engaged employees bring energy, deliver better service, and are 18% more productive than their disengaged counterparts.
