Kevin Sheridan, New York Times best-selling Author of Building a Magnetic Culture, has helped some of the world’s largest corporations improve their culture and foster productive engagement.
When asked on what companies should be doing better to improve workplace engagement, he shed his wisdom on the “Holy Grail”:
In Kevin’s words – The bottom line is that anyone who knows about employee engagement is also a firm believer in instituting health and wellness programs. There have been multiple scientific studies proving that health and wellness efforts have not only yielded higher productivity and engagement in the workplace but will also help reduce turnover as job stress is the #1 reason people quit (along with a lack of work-life balance which is related to wellness as well).
The employee-workplace relationship has tremendously changed in recent years owing to the dynamic environmental complexities and technology aided workforce. This has given birth to human resources management issues which have prompted organizations to devise new techniques to address these issues. Employee engagement in the workplace and employee satisfaction has become the core functions today.

Opry Medical Group, We believe that Businesses are a living, breathing entity. It undergoes change, grows and recedes, gets broken and heals. The people are the individual cells that work together to ensure that the entity is healthy, productive, and thriving.
We’d like to see employee engagement as proactively and passionately adding value while aligning with the company mission and operational goals. This can be hard to quantify, but an engaged employee wears it on their face, demonstrates it in their work attitude and in their workplace communication. Once we know what we are looking for, we need to be able to measure it, and more importantly create more of it.
