What comes to mind when you hear the term “Human Resources?” Some people relate the term to administrative functions that are normally associated with that department. Others think about being “called down to HR” to have uncomfortable conversations around recent behavior. Still others think about office parties and motivational posters. Regardless of your “HR Thoughts”, one thing is certain: the HR department is always viewed as pure overhead.
But does it have to be?
At Dragon Projects, we can show you how to change your HR department from an overhead expense on your P&L to a profit center. Yes, a profit center.
There have been numerous engagement studies of the workforce in the USA and they all come to the same conclusion – roughly 70% of workers are not at all engaged in what they do for their employer. One study conducted by Gallop showed something even worse – roughly 18% of workers are “active detractors” who are working to torpedo their employers from the inside! While we cannot identify those people, nor can we change their behavior, we CAN help you to create an environment where people are less likely to act in that manner. Moreover, by helping you create a more engaged workforce, you will begin to see people working harder, interacting with your customers from a more positive perspective, and even being conscious of how they spend company funds! If done right, you will see around a 10-12% increase in profit for your organization!
