Benchpoint welcomes McLeod Review on employee engagement
August 10 2009
London, UK, 19 August 2009: Benchpoint, the on line polling company which specialises in employment-related surveys has welcomed the publication of the Mcleod Review on Employee Engagement.
The Review, commissioned by the UK’s department of Trade, examines the state of employee engagement across the UK’s business and public sectors and affirms that it is a major factor in national and international competiveness. It focuses on the use of employee surveys as a means to determine how "engaged" employees are, and quotes from them extensively.
Richard Gaunt, Benchpoint’s CEO commented "We set up Benchpoint as a tool to help companies judge the engagement culture within the organisation and to use rigorous forensic methodology to set their agenda for change and for measuring their success at achieving it.
"We began this agenda back in 2002, and it is pleasing to see others coming forward with powerful arguments to justify what we have been saying all along. To have them endorsed by Government at the highest level is very satisfying".
Benchpoint recently launched a survey product called Management Probe, which is a comprehensive survey of an organisation’s culture, behavior and values. It gets to the heart of the engagement question while also providing a lot of additional data to put the findings in context.
Said Richard Gaunt "The McLeod Review is a powerful endorsement of what we have been saying all along - That companies need to understand as much about their employees as they do their customers. Benchpoint provides the means to do this - comprehensively, cost effectively and quickly"
"Organisations which take this seriously have a better chance of surviving the recession than those who do not".
