Retail Environments

Same Store Sales, Turnover, Shrinkage, Absenteeism, Share of Wallet, Productivity, Profitability
Customers leave every interaction with your company a little more, or a little less engaged. Are your employees' engaged and aligned in a way that allows them to consistently drive customer engagement? According to a retail study conducted by KPMG for the National Retail Federation, retailers nationwide are shifting their focus from cost containment to growth acceleration. Nowhere is competition fiercer than the retail sector where the only remaining sustainable competitive advantage is creating meaningful connections between employees and their customers on a consistent basis. This competitive advantage is not easily replicated, making an investment in employee and customer engagement a very wise use of company dollars.

Education

Finding great educators is difficult. Keeping them can be tougher still. Combining Employee Engagement and Strengths Development can be a winning combination for engaging your certificated and credentialed employees. In turn this improved engagement translates to improved student achievement, parent involvement, and will give you a leg-up in the recruiting arena. Another impactful option in education is connecting your students with their Strengths and teaching them how to find their unique path to success. Learn more about engagement in education.

    ---- Kevin Spafford, Wealth Manager serving farming professionals and family business owners

  • Employee Engagement - we were a small mid-stream natural gas compression company and needed the expertise of the Gallup Organization but not the heavy duty price tag. And that is where Melissa and Evolve Performance Group came to the rescue with a reasonably sized set of predictive questions to help us understand where engagement was strong and where it wasn't. And, more importantly, what to do about the hot spots. She was our go-to expert on the topic that was foreign to most of our management team. We ended up as one of the winners of the Houston "Best Place to Work" competition for mid-size employers.

    ---- Jeff Gill, Senior HR Leader, Sasol (Petrochemicals)

She was very hands-on in the process ensuring that her team fully understood what our company was looking for, and how we could best capture the data we were seeking. Once our survey closed and the data was compiled, Melissa and her team did an excellent job preparing a debrief for our group, helping us understand the results, what they meant, and what our next actions should be as a group. I would highly recommend her and her team!
