Review into employee engagement to take place
John Hutton, secretary of state for business, has announced that the government is to launch a review investigating ways in which to boost employee engagement in the workplace.
Starting in the early stages of 2009, the Review of Employee Engagement and Investment will make recommendations to organisations, which might include those operating in the public sector, on how to get the most out of their staff.
The review is to be led non-executive director for the Ministry of Justice David MacLeod and Nita Clark, director at the Involvement and Participation Association.
Mr MacLeod pointed that with only 12 per cent of British workers said to considered as being highly engaged "there is [the] potential for huge gains for the economy if we can improve in this area".
Such news might be of interest to those looking to improve the skills framework of their workforce.
Mr Hutton added that those organisations which are most successful are those which recognise that "employees are their most valuable asset".
Earlier this month, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development reported that adopting "smart working" practices - such as keeping technology updated and improving the working environment - can help to improve staff retention rates.
