What We've Learned
Every year, organizations suffer significant revenue and productivity losses due to ineffective ways of working. Research shows:
-
Disengaged employees cost companies up to 34% of their annual salary in lost productivity (Gallup).
-
Poor people management contributes to higher turnover rates and reduced motivation (UC).
-
70% of change initiatives fail to deliver the expected business benefits (McKinsey).
Across industries, we've witnessed firsthand how these issues negatively impact organizational culture, and we've learned the best ways to tackle them.
Ives Consulting helps businesses and non-profits become efficient, cost-effective, and great places to work by applying process innovation to solve their organizational challenges.
