National Business Research Institute Recognizes Germania Insurance for their Commitment to Employee Engagement
PLANO, Texas, Dec. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The National Business Research Institute (NBRI) is pleased to welcome Germania Insurance to the NBRI Circle of Excellence. The NBRI Circle of Excellence Award recognizes organizations that place a high value on Employee and Customer engagement. These organizations demonstrate their dedication by conducting best in class survey research with NBRI and taking action based upon the results. NBRI commends the leadership of these organizations for their commitment to the Continuous Improvement Process and recognizes their achievements with the Circle of Excellence Award.
To qualify for this honor, the organization must score at or above Stretch Performance at the 75th benchmarking percentile when measured against their industry, or the organization must improve 5 or more benchmarking percentiles in total company score over the previous research study, a statistically significant amount. It is no small feat to move an entire company's score of customer loyalty or employee engagement 5 or more percentiles or to reach Stretch or Best in Class Performance levels.
"Employee engagement drives financial performance," said Dr. Jan G. West, Ph.D., CEO and organizational psychologist at NBRI. "This award is a result of Germania's dedication to measuring and improving their Employee Engagement."
Germania President/CEO Paul Ehlert agrees.
"Our survey results show an overall improvement of 6 points over the last survey, which is significant considering many of our employee engagement initiatives are still in their infancy. As we have experienced increases in employee engagement, we have also seen job satisfaction increase and our overall corporate results improve as well," Ehlert said.
Germania's active efforts to increase employee satisfaction and engagement include new training and development initiatives, a learning management system, a new employee recognition platform, on-boarding programs, a rewards-and-recognition program, a leadership academy, and an accelerated leadership program.
"The excitement around these new programs is contagious," Ehlert said. "We look forward to continuing to enhance employee satisfaction and the operational improvements that will result from increased employee engagement."
