The word "brand" can mean many distinct things. In the retail industry, a brand frequently links a product to its maker, giving it a feeling of identity and frequently adding value. It can contain observable components like a logo, colours, typefaces, materials, and slogans, all of which help the brand stand out and become easily recognisable.
&nbsp;
Consistent &amp; Recognisable
The most successful brands are consistent and recognisable. A wide range of consumer goods can still be easily recognised by their brands even without their logos and text, thanks to other characteristics like colour and design.
A fantastic brand inspires a tonne of client loyalty. Any successful brand wants to create such a strong psychological bond with its audience that they won't even consider using a competitor's product. For example, a lot of consumers wouldn't look at any alternatives to Apple in terms of tech hardware.
Apple products become ingrained in many people&rsquo;s daily life, making it hard to switch to another brand. Apple is loved for a variety of reasons, including usability, design, marketing, and of course the founder vision established by the late Steve Jobs.
Brands encourage consumer loyalty. With such loyalty, your clients stay with you and continue to make purchases. How does this brand loyalty affect your workers, though?
&nbsp;
<h3>Employer Branding</h3>
HR teams must develop a compelling "employer brand" that they can use across the whole employee lifecycle. This is the same way that marketers establish a compelling "customer brand" to drive consumer loyalty.
Every company has a unique employment brand. It is a strategy used by companies to stand out from the competition in the labour market to attract, keep, and engage employees. It aids companies in gaining a competitive edge in the hiring of excellent personnel and building higher credibility.
Employer brand is described as "...a set of attributes and qualities, often intangible, that makes an organisation distinctive, promises a particular kind of employment experience, and appeals to those people who will thrive and perform best in its culture" in the CIPD 2008 guide "Employer Branding - A no nonsense approach."
A strong employer brand should be connected to a company's values, policies, people strategy, and external brand in the larger context of the organisation. If not, there may be a significant disconnect between the people the company selects and their capacity to fulfil the brand promise provided by the marketing team.
&nbsp;
<h3>Why is this important?</h3>
An organisation can gain from building a high-value "employer brand" in many ways.
A strong "consumer brand" helps marketers acquire, engage, and keep customers while fostering intense loyalty. The customer lifecycle is what is meant by this. For HR professionals, using the same strategy fosters extraordinary employee loyalty throughout the "employee lifecycle."
An employee's relationship with their company is referred to as their "employee lifetime." It can begin long before they ever start working for the company, but it has to do with how they are approached, brought on board, managed, rewarded, informed of developments, and ultimately let go.
An engaged workforce that feels appreciated and respected by their company will be created as a result of positive experiences in these areas. The benefit is that people typically desire to work harder to incorporate the mission, vision, and values of the organisation in their working behaviours.&nbsp;
Even if a highly engaged employee decides to leave the company, chances are they'll continue to generate value by serving as a "promoter" of that company and sharing their excellent employee experience with everyone they know!&nbsp;
On the other hand, a bad experience in any one of these areas could have the opposite effect.
&nbsp;
<h3>Creating a great Employer Brand</h3>
This has a documented process that is very similar to the marketing technique centred on client branding. This entails:
<ol>
<li>Discovery -&nbsp;Learn more about your staff, your management, and your current situation</li>
<li>Creation -&nbsp;Analyse the data obtained during the discovery phase and use it to produce an&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/fChhH7hlhHg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">employee value proposition</a></li>
<li>Application -&nbsp;Sharing the employee value proposition and ingraining it into the culture</li>
<li>Maintenance -&nbsp;Careful evaluation and optimisation to make sure the business truly embodies the employer brand.</li>
</ol>
This effort is ongoing and is a strategic one; it is not a one-time event. It is crucial that developing an employer brand be viewed as a process of continuous improvement since, just like a consumer brand, an employer brand can lose value over night.
&nbsp;
<h3>Start the discovery today</h3>
You run the danger of making the incorrect choices or perhaps undoing some of the good you've managed to accomplish without a solid discovery (or good research).&nbsp;
It helps to make a remarkable discovery by using great methods and technology. Conducting focus groups with your staff, holding workshops with top management, and performing employee engagement surveys are excellent places to start.&nbsp;
You're taking the initial steps in the right approach if you have a fantastic means to gather this data, monitor improvement, and, most importantly, understand "what good looks like."
Don't get too hooked up on the results; they are frequently vanity metrics. Instead, focus your efforts on the detailed feedback that you receive from your staff. That's where the brilliant concepts appear that enable you to create a brand that your staff members genuinely believe in.

Brands encourage consumer loyalty. How does this brand loyalty affect your workers?

Elevating your Employer Brand

If you&rsquo;re an employer, you&rsquo;re like to be familiar with the concept of Duty of Care. And while it&rsquo;s pretty obvious at face value what it entails (welfare, support, and good practice), it&rsquo;s essential for companies to fully understand their responsibilities, for practical, legal and employee engagement purposes.&nbsp;
Here we explore what the Duty of Care umbrella covers, and what it might mean for your organisation.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>What Is Duty Of Care?&nbsp;</h3>
The&nbsp;<a style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 255);" href="https://www.hse.gov.uk/workers/employers.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HSE&nbsp;</a>sets out an employers responsibility on duty of care:
&ldquo;It is an employer's duty to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees and other people who might be affected by their business. Employers must do whatever is reasonably practicable to achieve this.&nbsp;
This means making sure that workers and others are protected from anything that may cause harm, effectively controlling any risks to injury or health that could arise in the workplace."
Because the &lsquo;risks&rsquo; of employment will vary from industry to industry, this makes it difficult for some companies to know exactly where their legal responsibilities lie. But failing to understand exactly where responsibilities start and end can have serious implications for an organisation. Everything from&nbsp;<a style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(16, 60, 192);" href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/toxic-culture" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">toxic work cultures</a> to hefty negligence claims can arise from simple mistakes or failure to act responsibly, so it&rsquo;s crucial that employers are clear on their Duty of Care obligations.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>How Do Employers Know What Their Duty of Care is?&nbsp;</h3>
When it comes to the welfare of employees and employee engagement, legislation should be the minimum standards, not the aim. However it helps to understand the legislation as a starting point. All the standard measures in place are outlined in the&nbsp;<a style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(16, 60, 192);" href="https://www.hse.gov.uk/pUbns/priced/l24.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Health and Safety at Work Act 1992</a>. This covers things like:
<ul>
<li>Creating a clear Duty of Care policy, when a company has 5 or more employees</li>
<li>Training relevant individuals on basic health and safety issues</li>
<li>Frequently updating training and health and safety guides</li>
<li>Managing and recording misconduct</li>
<li>Displaying certification</li>
<li>Keeping training records up to date</li>
<li>Giving employees the right tools to fulfill their responsibilities</li>
</ul>
But it isn&rsquo;t just&nbsp;physical safety that employers need to look after, they also have a Duty of Care to support their workers&rsquo; mental health too.&nbsp;
Many organisations are now going well beyond the minimum duties and creating a culture based around employee wellbeing, supporting both physical and mental health. This employee-first approach can reap the rewards of high engagement and a positive work culture; reduce absence from work,&nbsp;<a style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(16, 60, 192);" href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/the-cost-of-low-employee-engagement-" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">save on recruitment costs</a>, and encourage a more productive team.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>How To Look After Your Team&rsquo;s Mental Health</h3>
According to&nbsp;<a style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(16, 60, 192);" href="https://www.hse.gov.uk/statistics/causdis/stress.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HSE</a>, as much as 40% of all work-related sickness in the UK is caused by stress. This stands witness to the equal importance of both mental and physical welfare in the workplace.&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;re an employer, you know that time off leads to decreased profits and productivity. And decreased profits adds stress on other team members who pick up the extra workload to meet targets. The cycle repeats and the stress can spread across the team and even the entire organisation. To put it simply, your efforts as an employer should focus more strongly on&nbsp;preventing&nbsp;stress than curing it.&nbsp;
Here are some of our top tips for looking after your team&rsquo;s mental health &amp; moving towards a &ldquo;wellbeing&rdquo; approach:
&nbsp;
<h4>Encourage Anonymous Feedback&nbsp;</h4>
If&nbsp;<a style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(16, 60, 192);" href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/how-to-spot-the-warning-signs-of-stress-in-your-team-and-what-you-can-do-to-help" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">your employees are stressed</a>, it&rsquo;s likely that at the heart of the issue is a lack of support from their manager or leader. Once this cycle has begun, it can also mean that they&rsquo;re less likely to share their feelings and concerns with the same leader or manager. Eventually, left unresolved, team members may crack.&nbsp;
For this reason,&nbsp;<a style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(16, 60, 192);" href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/how-can-employee-feedback-change-your-business" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">employee feedback</a> can be a company&rsquo;s greatest resource, but only if it&rsquo;s anonymous &ndash; aka, honest &ndash; and actioned. Anonymous employee engagement surveys will give you real-time insights into the state of your workforce&rsquo;s mental health, and offer suggestions about what could be improved.
Good data and insight can be predictive of issues that are forming, or help to uncover solutions to problems that have already surfaced.&nbsp;
By collaborating with a company like&nbsp;<a style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(16, 60, 192);" href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Space HR</a>, you can distribute expert-made employee engagement surveys via Whatsapp &ndash; surveys that have been specifically tailored to your organisation. The more you know about how your employees feel, the better able you are to fulfil your Duty of Care.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h4>Ensure Your Leaders Have Received the Correct Training</h4>
Often employees are dissatisfied or stressed at work due to a breakdown in communication with leaders. Whether they feel generally unsupported, feel bullied, discriminated against, or placed under too much pressure to meet deadlines, leadership plays a massive role in your team&rsquo;s mental health.&nbsp;
Your anonymous employee engagement surveys, will provide you with critical insights into the general perception of your management teams. You can use the feedback to identify gaps in duty of care, teach them&nbsp;<a style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(16, 60, 192);" href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/want-to-become-a-fantastic-leader" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the best practices of leadership</a>, and encourage them to&nbsp;<a style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(16, 60, 192);" href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/the-7-habits-of-highly-engaging-leaders" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">lead by example</a>. Doing so will breed a positive workplace culture, and will make recruitment and regulation much easier going forward.&nbsp;
You may also want to invest in specialist support and training in this area. Managers and leaders armed with knowledge and confidence of how to support their teams and truly fulfil their duty of care, will have better outcomes than those who are under-invested in.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h4>Treat Your Duty of Care Policy as a Basic Standard, Not the Gold Standard</h4>
Your Duty of Care policy is the bare minimum you can do to keep your company out of court, but it doesn&rsquo;t automatically build employee engagement. To truly look after your employees&rsquo; physical and mental health, you must put other measures in place to show them you care, along with checking back regularly and often to ensure that it&rsquo;s working.
&nbsp;
The tips we&rsquo;ve listed here are ways of taking care of your workers and improving workplace engagement.

What is it and what does it mean for organisations?

Duty of Care

This is a story about a people manager that works in your business. Let's call this person "Alex" for the purposes of this story.
Alex (delete as appropriate):
a)&nbsp;has worked in your business forever
b)&nbsp;is a close friend of your partner
c)&nbsp;is the key contact for your biggest client
d)&nbsp;knows where the bodies are buried
e)&nbsp;started in a lower role, showed promise and drifted in new roles as the company grew
&nbsp;
Once upon a time Alex was doing well, so you gave them a team. They didn&rsquo;t get off to a great start, but you were busy at the time, and didn&rsquo;t have the time to deal with it. Before you knew it, many years had passed. If you're being honest, Alex probably gets worse each year now.
Because Alex doesn't model great behaviour they don't have a great recruitment success rate. This leads to a high number of people leaving or being made to leave in probation. It wastes a lot of time and is costs the business a lot of money. But not everyone is great at recruitment, so no action needed.
There are no real shining stars in the team, no one manages to make it out of Alex's team once they are in it. Alex has no idea how to create a great environment for working and for talent to thrive, they just seem to muddle along.&nbsp;Sickness levels do seem to be a bit higher in that team too, but it isn&rsquo;t that much worse than other teams, so no action needed.
&nbsp;
Alex likes banter.&nbsp;You&rsquo;ve heard a couple of things second hand, but again you&rsquo;re too busy to do anything about it, they aren&rsquo;t a screaming problem at the moment. No grievance received, so no action needed.
Alex's customer stats are ok. The clients Alex manages are stable, but Alex doesn't really achieve any up-sell or create any new opportunities from their client base. But they haven&rsquo;t lost any clients, so no action needed.
Alex's name has come up a couple of times in exit interviews, but you&rsquo;ve never had a grievance about them from leavers and not everyone can get along, so no action needed.
Others in the leadership team are visibility frustrated working with Alex.&nbsp;There&rsquo;s tension but that&rsquo;s normal in a senior team under pressure right? Sadly one of your highest potential leaders has decided to leave. You don&rsquo;t think there&rsquo;s a link though, so no action needed.
&nbsp;
<h4>But now its crunch time - the business is growing up.</h4>
Now you&rsquo;re having to make some different and difficult decisions about the future of the business. You need your leadership team on board to help push this change through. But Alex messed up the message and now you&rsquo;ve had a load of emails directly from employees to deal with. Classic Alex cock up, but not the end of the world, so no action needed.
&nbsp;
<h4>Remember, Alex (delete as appropriate):</h4>
a)&nbsp;has worked in your business for 1 million years
b)&nbsp;has been there since the beginning
c)&nbsp;is a close friend of your partner
d)&nbsp;is the key contact for your biggest client
e)&nbsp;knows where the bodies are buried (delete as appropriate)
f)&nbsp;started in a lower role, showed promise and got promoted a few times
... so it isn&rsquo;t that bad. Deal with it later.
How does this make you feel as the owner of a business, or as an effective leader in the business?
The impact of a poor leader in your business can be really damaging. Other employees may see Alex's mediocrity or poor approach being acceptable in your business. If you settle for this level of mediocrity, you&rsquo;ll have to settle for mediocre outcomes.
&nbsp;
<h3>So what should you do?</h3>
You need to confront this head on. And you need to do it now. There are to many amber warnings going on here and ultimately your business might not be suffering, but it probably isn't realising its true potential either.
Here&rsquo;s some ideas of how to get this started:
<ul>
<li>Firstly you need to make it clear to Alex that it isn&rsquo;t acceptable anymore</li>
<li>Gather your facts and prepare for a challenging conversation</li>
<li>Invite Alex to your meeting, do it properly, so they know it&rsquo;s not just a quick catch up</li>
<li>Have an exploratory conversation with them. What&rsquo;s going on? How can you support? How can you turn it around? What do they need?</li>
<li>Put in place your agreed support actions - do not forget or skip this part</li>
<li>Set clear expectations and timescales for review. Be fair, be supportive, be clear.</li>
<li>Be brave about moving from informal to formal processes if you aren&rsquo;t seeing the change you need. Don&rsquo;t cruise at this stage either</li>
<li>Make great notes &amp; keep great records</li>
</ul>
Here&rsquo;s that line again, in case you still need convincing, if you settle for mediocre leadership, you&rsquo;ll have to settle for mediocre outcomes.
Take this out of the &ldquo;too hard&rdquo; box and demonstrate that you&rsquo;re also a great leader by tackling this and not accepting this level of mediocrity.

A story about "Alex" - A manager in your business?

Does one bad manager matter?

Don't you love it when someone more popular makes your point for you? Well, thank you Simon Sinek for doing just that last week.
For those that missed it, his words on LinkedIn were short and to the point - "Customers will love a company when the employees love it first" (link<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/simonsinek_customers-will-love-a-company-when-the-employees-activity-6867473786439000064-mObb" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;HERE</a>).
The post attracted 90k likes and 1600 comments (probably a few more than I would get). As you'd expect with any social media post there were some lovers and some haters. Some elaborated on his point with another 100+ words and utterly destroyed it. Some just tried to start an argument with someone else.
Regardless, the point resonated with me. Your employees SHOULD be the greatest ambassadors of your business. If they love your company and their job, they will project that positivity to your customers. Nothing will be too much trouble and everything will be done with a smile. In short, your customers will get a great experience.
&nbsp;
<h3>Or:&nbsp; great eNPS = great NPS</h3>
Great customer experience matters in every business, but in some businesses the interactions with people matter more than others.
One person commented in the feed that "I have never met a happy Amazon employee". This could be true of their experience, but I don't think all Amazon employees are unhappy. Amazon is not relying on employees alone to deliver exceptional customer service.
They've built thousands of touchpoints into their shopping experience that don't involve human interaction. Even if my delivery driver is miserable as sin, it's likely I won't care because I found my product, ordered it and had it delivered in 24 hours (#lastminutechristmasshopping).
McDonalds is another great example. Consistency in the 7 P's of service marketing - price, product, place, promotion, physical evidence, process and people - makes it difficult to have a bad experience. The first 6 of these have been taken out of the hands of the person working in the restaurant.
The last one - people- is the only one that can go wrong. If the person is amazing it's fairly forgettable. If they're bad it's also fairly forgettable. In short, the front of house person is such a nominal part of the entire experience, the customer can forgive McDonalds quickly because everything else was as expected.
But businesses like Amazon and McDonalds are the exception to the rule. Most businesses rely a lot on the experience that the customer has with an employee. Any business that sells a person's time (solicitor, accountant, recruiter etc.) is pretty much 100% highly reliant on their employee. Their people must portray the values of the company every day to deliver a great, consistent service.
Hybrid companies such as software businesses are the same. They may have a great product, but if the customer success and support functions disappear, then customers get very upset, very quickly.
&nbsp;
<h4>Here's our top tips to make sure your employees help your customers feel the love....</h4>
1. Listen -&nbsp;have a way to tap into how your employees feel about the service they are delivering. Understand what they love about your products and services, and what makes their jobs harder.&nbsp; Identify what support they need.&nbsp;
2. Empathise - make it clear you&rsquo;ve heard their feedback and you can understand their point of view. Build trust into your feedback process and give your teams a say in how things get done.&nbsp;
3. Feedback - let them know what you are going to do next. What action do you intend to take, by when and how.&nbsp;
4. Action - JFDI.&nbsp;
5. Repeat -&nbsp;create this feedback loop regularly. By doing this, you&rsquo;ll build engagement &amp; trust in your organisation. As well as quickly being able to identify blockers and bottlenecks.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
To conclude, customer-facing teams in ALL businesses help you retain and attract customers.
Listening to the people that own the relationships with the customer puts you in a great position to keep doing better.
In some businesses your people could be 100% of why they choose to be your customer. In others it might be less than 1%. Regardless, an extra 1% could equate to a big difference in profitability. A bad experience could destroy your reputation and cause your customers to leave in droves.
&nbsp;
At Ten Space, we help organisations capture employee feedback to improve their business performance.&nbsp;
We&rsquo;ve created specific surveys for customer services teams, designed to do a deep-dive into what is driving, or holding back success for these critical teams. If you&rsquo;d like to see how we can help super-charge your customer teams - get in touch.

How high employee engagement leads to high customer engagement.

"Customers will love a company when the employees love it first"

What do you do with crazy high engagement scores?
Take your business international! Read our Case Study of how we're working with BEAM Fieldwork.&nbsp;
One of Ten Space&rsquo;s first ever clients was is the wonderful BEAM Fieldwork.
Amy, the MD, leads a small but perfectly formed team of research professionals. Organising market research studies for large and well known brands.
When we first started working with Amy, we were in the thick of the pandemic. She had a number of team members who were on furlough and she was uncertain about the impact it was having on the team and what the path out the other side of lockdown looked like.
We worked with Amy to build an anonymous survey, which we sent out to the team via WhatsApp. This method worked for a team who weren&rsquo;t all sat in front of emails, depending on if they were on or off furlough at the time.
We built a set of questions that would allow Amy to take a temperature check from the team, gain insight into their sentiment and obtain written feedback to help Amy to move the team forward.
&nbsp;
So, what did we find? We found a team who were so engaged it was almost off the scale! Nearly &ldquo;full marks&rdquo;! In fact her scores were so high, they had us checking our code to make sure we&rsquo;d counted right!
So what advice do you give when the client can probably tell you a thing or two about engaging a team?! Well you talk about what you&rsquo;re going to DO with those engagement scores!
&nbsp;
At Ten Space we often talk about the engagement bank account, the more credit in the bank, the more great things you can buy for your business. The higher your engagement (credit), the more you can achieve with your business. We discussed how Amy could comfortably make some withdrawals; implement change, challenge the team some more, take some risks and still have an engaged team supporting her every move.
It gave Amy the extra confidence she needed to press the 'super charge' button on her business and go international. It had always been an ambition, but with the knowledge her team were behind her and some additional client wins, she went for it.
Fast forward to BEAM&rsquo;s next quarterly survey. We worked with Amy to evolve her questions. Her business was changing and so we needed to be tapping into slightly different things to keep it relevant and deliver the feedback Amy needed to move forward again.
She&rsquo;d just held a team meeting, where she&rsquo;d announced the changes and what the future of the business was going to look like. Big changes; new line managers, more risk, extra challenges for the team and no more furlough.
&nbsp;
So did her engagement drop? Did Amy make a withdrawal from her engagement to enact the change?
Nope! Honestly, there&rsquo;s dream teams and then there is BEAM! Amy knew what her team needed to keep them engaged in the future of the business (backed up with our engagement model). She was able to lead her team through the change, reset the vision and keep them engaged with her and with each other.
We&rsquo;re going to be following Amy&rsquo;s business, every quarter, evolving her question set to keep it relevant and fresh. To ensure that she knows what&rsquo;s going on with her team in the moment. What impact the changes are having and how it&rsquo;s impacting on engagement.
If something shifts and we see a downward trend, we&rsquo;ll know about it quickly and we&rsquo;ll know why it happened. Her team will tell us.
&nbsp;
We&rsquo;d like to wish Amy and the whole team at BEAM all the best for the future. We&rsquo;re honoured to be partnering such an incredible business at such a pivotal part in their journey. Go get them!
&nbsp;
We offer a managed service at Ten Space, so we get to know your business and where you&rsquo;re heading. We&rsquo;ll work with you to get you the employee insight you need to help move forward and achieve your business goals.&nbsp;

How BEAM used their engagement scores to expand their business

Case Study: BEAM Fieldwork

A watch out for remote working & hybrid working

Can you hear me at the back?

The traditional working week of 9-5, 5 days a week seems to be hard wired into our society. Most workers build their days, weeks and years around this working pattern. But for many people, it just doesn't align with their life outside of work.
Many are juggling a near impossible balance of work and life outside of work, which makes it incredible difficult to be fully engaged in their job.&nbsp;
Caring responsibilities play a large part in this juggling act:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/articles/familiesandthelabourmarketengland/2019">5 million people</a>&nbsp;in the UK are juggling caring responsibilities with work - that's 1 in 7 of the workforce.</li>
<li>Almost 3 in 10 mothers (28.5%) with a child aged 14 years and under said they had reduced their working hours due childcare reasons.</li>
<li>The proportion of parents who faced an obstacle fulfilling responsibilities decreased as the age of the child increased; from&nbsp;34.9%&nbsp;of parents whose youngest child was aged between 0 and 4 years to&nbsp;20.4%&nbsp;of parents with a child aged 11 to 14 years.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Reviewing mental health statistics makes it really clear where employees are struggling and where the engagement gaps may be.
A recent Mental Health Foundation survey found:
<ul>
<li>One third&nbsp;of respondents feel unhappy or very unhappy about the time they devote to work</li>
<li>More than&nbsp;40%&nbsp;of employees are neglecting other aspects of their life because of work, which may increase their vulnerability to mental health problems&nbsp;</li>
<li>When working long hours more than a quarter of employees feel depressed (27%), one third feel anxious (34%), and more than half feel irritable (58%)</li>
<li>The more hours you spend at work, the more hours outside of work you are likely to spend thinking or worrying about it</li>
<li>As a person's weekly hours increase, so do their feelings of unhappiness</li>
<li>Many more women report unhappiness than men (42% of women&nbsp;compared with&nbsp;29% of men), which is probably a consequence of competing life roles and more pressure to 'juggle'</li>
<li>Nearly&nbsp;two thirds&nbsp;of employees have experienced a negative effect on their personal life, including lack of personal development, physical and mental health problems, and poor relationships and poor home life.</li>
</ul>
These findings make for pretty depressing reading. So what can you do as a business to change things for the better?
&nbsp;
If your business can accommodate it, moving away from the traditional working week and offering more flexible ways of working can offer solutions to the challenges above. In return, you'll build long lasting employee engagement and create competitive advantage.
Offering flexible working options opens up new, often more diverse talent pools too as well as giving employees a greater reason to stay in your business.
If your business can accommodate it, we recommend that you build flexible working into your processes when creating or replacing roles.
Try and consider;
<ul>
<li>Can this role be part time?</li>
<li>Can this role be a job share?</li>
<li>Does this role need to be 9-5?</li>
<li>Does this job need to be 5 days per week?</li>
<li>Can it be compressed hours?</li>
<li>Can it be term time only?</li>
<li>Can it be remote?</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
The principals and the benefits of a flexible working approach, reach across all of the 4 pillars of the Ten Space engagement model. If you'd like to talk some more about our model, approach and how flexible working could offer you competitive advantage, you can email our founder: Victoria@tenspace.co.uk&nbsp;

Can flexible working improve engagement?

Enhancing employee productivity, retention and satisfaction is vital to creating a happier workforce. One of the best ways to do this is through effective use of the right <a href="../../../../../../blogs/what-is-employee-engagement-/">Employee Engagement</a> Platform.
A good employee engagement platform will gather feedback from your teams.
A great employee engagement platform will give you the <a href="../../../../../../blogs/making-the-most-of-your-engagement-data/">data, insight and feedback</a> you need to enact real change in your organisation.

<h3 dir="ltr">5 Main Benefits of an Employee Engagement Platform</h3>

<h4 dir="ltr">Anonymity:</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr">💡<a href="https://www.thehrdirector.com/features/employee-engagement/improve-quality-quantity-employee-feedback-make-anonymous/">74% of employees</a> said they&rsquo;d be willing to give more feedback if they were truly anonymous.</h4>
<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/VFovaUll7AEXMzSm_du4HSGyRqZWDOfNGCoi7733kAsnJi2dF5F2kFNdYNjKNSFy3MbplfcOwqDycVP_n57qOEhwp5DQcH9DNWMnHhDZ83_wFhcSx8pKplqy3kEPJDQyo-GoUnUSdRLXdbXiQoL5jM4" width="224" height="224">
If you want to get the best feedback, making sure that your employees know that what they share won't be traced back to them personally is crucial. If they don't feel safe to share their feedback, they may not be as open and honest.&nbsp;
Trust is incredibly easy to lose and much harder to build back. If breached, employees may even choose not to offer their thoughts at all.&nbsp;
Using a <a href="../../../../../../blogs/sorry-boss-theres-something-you-should-know-please-dont-fire-me/">third-party platform</a> adds an extra layer of trust. Employees are more likely to trust the confidentiality and impartiality of an external party, with a specialist tool rather than an internal system.&nbsp; 
<h4 dir="ltr">Instant Insights:</h4>
<h4 dir="ltr">💡 90% of business professionals prioritise&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/why-data-and-analytics-are-key-to-digital-transformation">data &amp; analytics</a> for successful digital transformation.</h4>

The instant insights provided by the Ten Space platform enables organisations to quickly identify trends, patterns and areas of improvement. You can watch your results coming in on our dashboard as your survey is happening.&nbsp;
Instead of spending hours or even days crunching numbers and organising data, HR and management teams can focus on analysing and interpreting the insights to make <a href="../../../../../../blogs/making-the-most-of-your-engagement-data/">data-driven decisions</a>.&nbsp;
The accessibility of instant insights promotes agility and responsiveness. That means you can show your teams that you are serious about using their feedback to create change and take action.&nbsp;
Carrying out surveys on a regular basis, means you have an continual flow of up to date and highly-relevant employee feedback to shape decision making and manage risk.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Employee engagement is crucial for accountancy firms as it directly impacts productivity, client satisfaction and firm reputation. Engaged employees are more likely to go the extra mile to understand client needs, provide tailored solutions and build long-term relationships. High levels of engagement reduce turnover rates, saving recruitment costs and preserving institutional knowledge.
                

Measure employee engagement in accountancy firms through regular surveys assessing factors like job satisfaction, work-life balance and alignment with firm values. Include questions on communication effectiveness, career development opportunities and recognition. Analyse survey results to identify areas for improvement and gauge overall engagement levels.

 A great employee engagement platform will give you the data, insight and feedback you need to enact real change in your organisation. Using a third-party platform adds an extra layer of trust. By segmenting the data from engagement surveys, you can uncover valuable insights specific to different employee groups. You can find where your problems are coming from and create targeted actions.

How it works

<div><h3 class="heading pb-4">What is Employee Engagement?</h3>To put it in its simplest form: Employee engagement is the level of commitment, enthusiasm and dedication employees have towards their work and the organisation. Enhanced employee engagement reveals itself in employees reaching their full potential and delivering exceptional performance at work.</div>

Measuring employee engagement in your legal firm can be achieved through regular employee surveys. This first step is critical in gathering data that will help you make decisions. Ideally you should be surveying your business every month so you can quickly observe any drops in engagement and affect a plan quickly to resolve issues. Regular surveys provide the data you need to build a strategic engagement plan based on real information, not gut feeling.


Using an ‘engagement specific’ survey platform will help you gather data faster, more securely and more accurately. The right platform will also make it easier for people to submit their responses in a way that’s easy for them. You’ll be able to compare results over time to analyse trends. By segmenting the data from engagement surveys, you can uncover valuable insights specific to different employee groups. You can find where your problems are coming from and create targeted actions.

Once you’ve done your first survey, things will become instantly clearer. You’ll start to see the hotpots in your company by a variety of segmentation criteria such as team, location, gender, role and tenure. Open-ended feedback will often help provide a solution to the challenges you’re seeing. We’re always amazed how much insight a first survey provides to our customers from a high level right into the detail. Measuring consistent data-points over time will help gain a deep understanding of how to build your strategic plan.


Build your employee engagement strategy

<div><h3 class="heading pb-4">High engagement means higher performance</h3>Employee engagement is a critical activity for professional services firms. Retaining your high performing people will help you build a high performing legal practice. 

But if you don’t have a way to measure engagement and understand when engagement is dropping, you run the risk of losing your top performers and a potential domino effect of top talent.</div>

<div><h3 class="heading pb-4">What is the Employee Engagement model?</h3>Some believe engagement is solely about having happy employees, but engagement goes beyond this. Enhanced employee engagement reveals itself when your employees reach their full potential and deliver exceptional performance at work.At Ten Space we use a simple model. It helps you explore engagement in your organisation. It shows you where you already excel and where you need to focus to improve.</div>

When your employees feel connected to the mission of the company, their engagement improves significantly. They find meaning and purpose in their work, knowing that their efforts contribute to something larger than themselves. They become more invested in the success of your organisation, leading to higher productivity, increased job satisfaction and a stronger sense of belonging within the team.

A great leader inspires and motivates their team members, earning their trust and respect. They provide clear direction, guidance, and support, allowing employees to perform their best and reach their full potential. A great leader creates a sense of empowerment, job satisfaction and loyalty among the team, leading to enhanced employee engagement and overall success.

 Employee engagement improves when your employees feel fulfilled in their role. When individuals find their work meaningful and aligned with their values, they are motivated to invest their time and energy into their work, going above and beyond to achieve goals. This positive mindset and attitude contribute to increased productivity, stronger teamwork and a happier work environment, ultimately enhancing overall employee engagement.

The highest-performing teams have one thing in common: psychologically safe workplaces. Psychologically safe workplaces promote healthier, more productive and more inclusive workforces. They also provide the environment in which innovation can thrive and people can perform at their best.

Ten Space is the platform to gather regular employee feedback. Every month, your employees are able to offer the feedback and insight you need to create positive change throughout your organisation.

The Ten Space engagement model underpins the data. It ensures a consistent approach to capturing feedback that can be measured over time. Our platform helps you build the perfect question set to understand the real issues preventing high engagement. 

 Ten Space does all the hard work, saving you days of admin. Questions are sent via email, WhatsApp or SMS and responses are gathered back in the platform. No matter where your employees are or how they work, there is always an easy way for them to provide their feedback. 

See responses as they're being submitted. Our dashboards display real-time information for you and your managers to access valuable insights at any time. This allows you to spend less time collating data and more time taking the actions that matter to build higher engagement.
