According to newly released Gallup figures, just 30 percent of American workers are engaged in their work. The rest are described as disengaged, with 17 percent actively disengaged, “which means they are literally trying to sabotage the organization,” notes Neil Stevens, president and CEO of Oconee State Bank in Oconee, Georgia. “Gallup also says that if you have a 70 percent or higher engagement score, you're 23 percent more profitable than those with lower engagement scores. So engaged teams truly, in my mind, lead to healthier cultures, better customer retention.” On the latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast — presented by R&T Deposit Solutions — Stevens discusses his approach to cultivating a bank where engagement scores have climbed to 89 percent, triple the national average. Stevens works to build this culture through a framework called Leading Life on Life that emphasizes loving, equipping, affirming and developing (“LEAD”ing) team members. Among other topics on the show, Stevens discusses the role of love in bank management, the importance of active listening and how an environment of healthy affirmation actually allows leaders to hold their teams to higher standards. Hear Stevens discuss bank culture and employee engagement at the ABA Annual Convention, Oct. 27-29 in New York City.

Surfing NASH is joined by Tim Jobson to discuss what he describes as a “combined informatics and clinical program simultaneously.” In this conversation, Tim begins by describing his background and how he came to partner with expert clinicians and specialists in healthcare IT to address how we can better identify liver patients in need of intervention. In partnership with former colleague Neil Stevens and his local NHS Trust, Tim led a grant application that gave rise to Predictive Health Intelligence where he holds the roles of Medical Director and Chief Investigator. Tim expounds the journey of improving understanding around how patients with liver disease could be diagnosed earlier by accessing and combining the results of previous blood tests. There are thousands of patients in any given region in the UK who have taken blood tests in multiple, unconnected offices. The system which Tim is working on aggregates a large number of these blood tests and searches for patterns in individuals. If a target pattern presents, the patient is summoned for a visit which can lead to treatment or an intervention. Jörn Schattenberg is the first co-host to share an impression. His two questions: whether they are looking at earlier stage patients and what have been the flavors of patient responses? Surf on to hear Tim's response.
