National employee engagement campaign targets SMEs

Employee engagement strategies shouldn’t be a concern solely for larger enterprises, as even organisations at the smaller end of the spectrum can reap rewards, an audience at the headquarters of the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) have heard.

Held as part of a wider campaign to raise awareness of employee engagement on the recommendation of the government sponsored MacLeod Review, the ‘Sustainable employee engagement’ conference saw a host of experts provide case studies and advice for firms of all sizes. And new measures being executed in partnership with the government will also ensure that small businesses seeking to improve engagement will receive extra support.
