		<description>Employee engagement is crucial for SMEs. It is important to ensure your teams are as motivated and productive as possible as there is less room to carry people who aren&#039;t pulling their weight. If you create advocates of your employees in the process, this can only benefit your business. 

Think about how much of your PR and Marketing budgets go into trying to inform and influence conversations that are happening with the intent of influencing a sale or further enhancing your brand. Your strategies and initiatives will only be strenghtened and enhanced with your brand being built at a grassroots level by your employees, in the same way that all of that work can be undone by a negative word in the wrong place.</description>
