A engaged team has a direct impact on the success of any business. After all, people are effectively responsible for making the company grow and gain more space and recognition in the market.

In this context, investing in good relationships and betting on improving individual performance - as a team - is crucial. There are resources that can help a lot in this process.

That way you reduce turnover and identify the best talent to retain in your company – one of the biggest challenges nowadays for companies of all sizes.

How to identify an engaged team?

Before obtaining information on how to build an engaged team it’s important to know which characteristics are essential for this team. Engagement can be measured in different aspects, such as:

Productivity

A team that is more willing and committed to the success of a business tends to be productive. This means that working hours are well used and show great results.

This enthusiasm and commitment are directly related to the employee's identification with the values ​​and ideals of the brand. After all, without this identification, it’s practically impossible to be willing to dedicate yourself actively.

Challenges are accepted

It’s also common for good performing teams to accept challenges and seek to meet them with excellence, always delivering their best to achieve goals and succeed in what they set out to do.

Brand lawyers

Employees act as if they were lawyers or ambassadors of the brand.

You won't have problems with staff complaining about the company outside the work environment. Quite the contrary: they are proud of the brand they are representing.

The effects of engagement on HR

For HR, an engaged team also brings numerous benefits. The main one is the reduction of hiring costs, since there is a decrease in turnover.

After all, when everyone is equally involved in business affairs, no one feels burdened or undervalued.

With that, the chances of resignation requests or need for dismissals fall a lot.

The effects are also financial, as hiring requires investment in training - and it’s natural to take time for the new employee to generate results. Keeping good employees is really important.
