Cellularize: "Embed Excellence"

9Q OVERVIEW. The ability to attract, retain and fully engage the most talented workforce in your industry. 

Employee engagement typically fluctuates between 55% and 65% (Gallop, 2020). To put these dismal numbers into perspective a 65% engagement rate would mean that 35% of your payroll, a major expense, is wasted every month.

The challenge most organizations face is that employee engagement is a consequence of leadership and culture, not a primary lever and cannot be directly impacted by “engagement techniques”.

Clarity, training, incentives, support, and consistent wins are the levers that drive high engagement and 9Q Leaders know exactly how to deploy them.

9Q uses a 90/90 engagement goal.

We are not striving for perfection, but a culture where everyone on the team is empowered to show up as their best and do their best.

IN PRACTICE. 9Q engaged teams consistently bring their best to everything they do as a result of the leadership team’s clarity and commitment to modeling this behavior themselves. Team members know how to show up feeling great, focused and on task. They understand the value of what they do and how they contribute to the greater purpose. They know that energy is contagious and use this knowledge to co-create a fun, productive, profitable, and fulfilling work environment.

9Q PATHWAY. “Powered by 9Q”

WHY. Every team member you hire is investing most of their waking hours in your company and your mission. 9Q leaders recognize that we have a responsibility to create an inspiring, supportive, and empowering culture that naturally drives engagement and recognize that it always starts with us and how we show up.
