Employee Engagement
No Carrot, No Stick, and No Donkeys
When your organisation has a Self Intelligent workforce, you don’t need to use the traditional methods of keeping your employees engaged.
Businesses in the United States spend $150 billion a year on motivating their employees.[1] This isn’t a large sum when you consider the cost of lost productivity and the cost of replacing employees due to a lack of engagement in the workplace.
Using the carrot and stick method doesn’t work because research shows that for employees to be engaged they require autonomy, mastery and purpose.[2]
The JOLT Challenge program provides your staff with the skills and experience that they need to develop clarity around their drives and passions. After completing the JOLT Challenge course your employees will have:
- A self driven work ethic.
- An increased level of loyalty and commitment to the organisation.
- And be able to work with a purpose.
By aligning your employee’s values with the organisation’s values you will have a workforce that is both engaged and better equipped to achieve organisational goals.
“It's not very often that your work place allows you to personally grow with a chance that this may provide additional employment benefits. JOLT has allowed me to become more engaged at work and a better life balance.”

“If you're looking for a self awareness programme to get you back on track in terms of your values and your purpose in life and where you want to head, I would thoroughly recommend this course. You will get a great deal out of it. Thank you (company name), and thank you JOLT!"
