The Soft Pitch

Journalists if you are looking for a story on employee engagement start here. Avnet’s Chairman and CEO Roy Vallee made two speeches this week to over a hundred HR pros in the valley and approx 75 folks at at the reknown Thunderbird University. Same simple message…engaged employees plus happy customers equal profitable growth…dah. The tough part is if you believe it and execute on it. We measure both with outside firms. Our engagement has increased globally for 6 years…engagement equals their commitment to company and line of sight…do they get info and understand where and how we are getting there and their role in the process. Tie that to customer engagement scores we review, you get the picture.

So how do we do it? The foundation: 5 core values based a culture of values and performance at all times and supported with clear and consistent communication to 13,000 talented employees. For more info on how we do it and the metrics that back up the story contact us…
