Better Strategy

Turning People Priorities into Measurable Impact

Why It Matters

The gap between what leaders intend and what employees experience is the silent killer of performance. Globally, only 21% of employees are engaged — falling to 13% in Europe and 8% in Switzerland (Gallup, 2025). This disconnect erodes trust, slows execution, and limits adaptability. Yet, the organisations that close it outperform across all dimensions:

• Business – 2.2x more likely to exceed financial targets and 2.4x more likely to delight customers.

• People – 5.1x more likely to create a sense of belonging, 5.2x more likely to be a great workplace, and 5.1x more likely to engage and retain employees.

• Innovation – 3.7x more likely to adapt to change and 4.3x more likely to innovate effectively (Deloitte, 2024).

What Needs to Change

From: A “strategy” that exists as a document but never changes daily behaviour.
To: A living, evidence-backed people strategy that is actively shaping decisions, culture, and performance at every level.

What’s at Stake

• Are we prepared to lead with a people strategy as central to business success as financial strategy?

• Do we have the insight to pinpoint — and close — our most damaging engagement gaps?

• Which few initiatives will create the greatest long-term lift in performance and retention?
