Our History and Our TeamThe energy of extraordinary
Imagine a company where executives communicate openly, honestly and frequently so that everyone understands and gets behind a common purpose. Here, there are programs where employees develop business strategy, and thus have a vested interest in achieving goals. High performance is recognized and celebrated and mediocrity is shunned.
For The Employee Engagement Group’s founder Bob Kelleher, it all began with a simple question: “Why not?”
Leading an initiative to engage, retain, and develop employees at a global professional servcies fir
m, he challenged his teams to get creative, to suggest new ideas, to take risks. Excitement took hold across the company as they introduced cutting edge programs and initiatives where everyone had a voice and everyone took a new level of ownership in making strategies succeed. That one question completely transformed the firm’s culture and became the foundation of their business strategy. It led to profitable growth and acquisition by a Fortune 500 company, and a second wave of implementing engagement best practices amongst 45,000 global employees.
Today, Bob and his team of Organizational Development professionals are bringing a passion for high-performing workforces along with award-winning engagement programs and best practices to organizations across the globe.
