The Engage Story 

We needed to engage the people, yet worryingly Gallup show that only 13% of employees are considered ‘highly engaged but even worse 26% of employees are considered ‘actively disengaged.’ Leading a team of Cultural Ambassadors to drive this change we embedded our cultural engagement strategy with at the heart of it.

We created the Engage Your People Platform - using our knowledge and real-life experience and Microsoft technology to improve the performance and everyday lives of the Chess people and now we want to engage people in every organisation. Consistency and rigour are the back bone of our cultural methodology, based on open and honest communication.

The Engage Your People platform drives modern communication, people tell Engage how they feel, and then Engage Your People tells them how they “really” feel.

Through the intelligent use of sentiment scoring, we know when people aren’t feeling valued and cared for, Engage Your People, often know when people are no longer engaged before they know this themselves.

Tracking performance, and importantly using this to remove non-performers from the business, we all know what a challenge it can be to have someone in a job who doesn’t have the correct attitude, energy or skill, the Engage platform provides this insight for you.

Improved retention, productivity, and brand, empowered our people to work in a modern way. It started to pay off as employees have voted Chess into the UK Sunday Times Top 100 companies to work for list.

For over a decade and in 2018 were finally No 1. We know using methodology can get you listed in the top 100 places to work in the UK.
