(BLACK PR WIRE) "" New York, New York "" "Work need not be soul-crushing" says Lauren Moses, founder of The Moses Group, a New York-based consultancy that drives business results by improving employee engagement, retention, and productivity.

According to Ms. Moses, "Gallup tells us that 70% of Americans are not engaged at work. Can you imagine how our country would be different if we could engage all that hidden potential and reap the benefits of those contributions that aren't seeing the light of day?"

Ms. Moses, a Harvard Business School alumna, sees herself as a "champion for great workplaces and the notion that work is a means through which one can discover, develop and express one's potential."

Founded earlier this year, The Moses Group offers culture change consulting, coaching, workshops, and keynote speaking. The broad themes that Ms. Moses spotlights are: (1) defining priorities, (2) aligning your actions with stated priorities, (3) communicating in a way that inspires others to help you, (4) diversity & inclusion: walking the talk, (5) self-care for leaders.

Dozens of human resources consultancies specialize in creating surveys and other assessments. The Moses Group distinguishes itself through its shoulder-to-shoulder partnership with clients throughout the implementation phase of a consulting engagement.

For a successful consulting relationship, Moses says that "senior leadership needs to have the courage to let me ask tough questions and not flinch when we learn the answers. The first step is accepting reality. Then you can move forward."

Ms. Moses maintains that company leadership makes moves that lead employees to disengage, and that these moves are totally preventable. "Life experience has taught me what builds or corrodes trust. I want to help leaders apply the lessons I've learned."

"The world is becoming more competitive, not less. When there are relatively easy ways to improve your organization's performance, that's worth something to you." Ms. Moses says, "This is an exciting time to focus on employee engagement. The research shows that this work impacts the bottom line."
