ENGAGED EMPLOYEES = COMPANY PROFITS

13% of employees worldwide feel “engaged” at work in 2016. In fact, business units in the top quartile of employee engagement are 21% more profitable and suffer 70% fewer safety incidents compared to the companies in the bottom quartile. Executives want engaged employees but fail to understand how to take the necessary steps to achieve the collaborative environment that nurtures innovation. 

Our four step approach will allow the employees to introduce the technology they never knew existed. By conversing with the daily workers, Apps and Mortar molds today's available products, into company tools for collaboration. 

1. Communicate the Collaboration Problem - Every employee wants to work less with better results. Collaboration at an early stage allows the team to fully understand the problem before jumping to the newest shiny solution.

2. Engage the Leadership - 100% of technology initiatives that change daily work will fail if the manager does not like the concept, or is threatened by it. This is why Apps and Mortar takes an early focus on management needs to employee problems. 

3. Start with a Pilot Program - A small controlled team can provide an excellent feedback loop for testing. The team inherently understand that the problem can be eradicated with technology but they must demonstrate "how" the process will improve productivity.

4. Feedback Loop to Infinity - Once the project shows signs of success employees will fall victim to routine and ultimately distort the solution. This is why the fourth step is the most critical aspect of increasing productivity. The task must become a habit which can be enforced by the feedback loop.
