2 EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

3 THE OVERVIEW To take an in-depth look at employee engagement within the Clients business and move towards a safety intelligent culture that is people focused, where interaction is the norm. MINIMISE VS. MAXIMISE The expired organisational precept accounts people as a liability to be minimised. The workforce is a cost on the balance sheet, the human factor is a risk in the operation, and the communication system functions with the synchronicity of a game of Chinese Whisper. Corporations operating under this premise are lagging behind their competitors, who understand that the single common denominator of any business, any industry, any operational failure or success, is people. Research in the field of neuroscience and psychology has proven that highly functional organisations are those who operate not as a transactional network but a social network, and ignoring the people dimension, treating your human resource as simply cogs in the machine, results in the loss of those resources. The leaders of the industry are those who view their human asset as exactly that: an asset to be maximised, a potential to be utilised, and an investment for return. The higher valued, higher trained, higher engaged your workforce, the greater return on your investment. We transitioned from the Industrial Age to the Social Age with grace by operating not as a transactional network but a social network.

4 THE ELKA SYSTEM

5 THE ELKA SYSTEM What if you were creating a constructive culture instead of defending a destructive one. Engagement is two-way. Organisations must work to engage the employee, who in turn has a choice about the level of engagement to offer the employer. Imagine a process measuring and managing the engagement climate between each tier in your organisational structure. Imagine a system that establishes the preconditions for a high-functioning two-way relationship between leaders, managers, and employees; where challenges can be met, communications flow and goals achieved. We solve the PEOPLE problems in the organisation We enhance the PEOPLE performance in your team We decode your PEOPLE behavior and development The ELKA system is a three-part process, commencing with an advanced diagnostic that identify gaps and/or blockages in the organisation, translates that into a benchmarked systematic solution designed to strengthen the weakness and dissolve the blockages, followed up with reporting on measurable benchmarks and recommended succession plan.
