What’s next?
The overall response to the platform has been outstanding with leaders
receiving unprompted positive feedback about the platform via casual
comments, internal emails and mentions at team meetings.

As employees draw down on their points and start redeeming them

for purchasing, Dyson ANZ has seen spontaneous ‘thankyous’ with
employees sharing what this means to them and how the experience
has made a difference to their working lives, resulting in a big uplift in
engagement levels.

With its initial program objectives met, Dyson ANZ is eager to embark
on the next steps in its employee engagement journey. Enabled by
the strategic support provided by its Achievers program and customer
success manager, Dyson continues to focus on pioneering ways to
drive engagement.

Given the popularity of Achievers, Dyson ANZ plans to continue to

reinforce the program’s value as an engagement hub by adding even
more initiatives, such as: the ‘Feedback’ tool to engage, educate and
inform employees through surveys, forms, polls, and quizzes and
enable actions that have a direct impact on engagement. Dyson ANZ is
also looking at testing and trialing different result driver campaigns to
further drive engagement with their frontline teams— all while keeping
recognition at the center of what they do.

Dyson ANZ also looks forward to rolling out Achievers to additional

teams of retail experts and their retail partners. Together, Dyson
ANZ and Achievers will remain partners in employee engagement,
celebrating the programs’ milestones and continuing to identify new
ways to deliver real employee engagement and business results.
