Employee Engagement
For improved productivity, lower staff turnover and highly engaged people
The world of work and the expectations of workers has changed in recent years. Striking a balance between what your business needs and what employees now want and expect is the key to engaging and retaining your people in such a way as to create a healthy and productive workplace culture.
A clear winner when it comes to ensuring your employees are engaged and committed to staying with you is to consult them, ask for their opinion and ideas and act on them. This will enable you and your management to create stronger programmes and policies that resonate with the elements each individual employee cares about the most.
To achieve a high level of employee engagement you need knowledge, strategies, and tactics. We often focus on the knowledge and strategies part of the solution yet some of the real fun parts come from the tactics.
Why do I need to invest in Employee Engagement?
Employee engagement has been ‘on the agenda’ for many organisations for years, if not decades. The term was used by William Kahn of Boston University in his 1990 paper ‘Psychological Conditions of Personal Engagement and Disengagement at Work’.
However, many organisations still pay employee engagement lip service. They realise many have embraced it since the pandemic, but some still question if investing resource and budget will really make a difference to the bottom line and to the culture of their business.
What happens if your organisation experiences low employee engagement? Lost opportunities, reduced productivity and potentially a high staff turnover, with the added costs that each of those can incur.
The question is how to do you introduce an employee engagement programme whilst doing your day job?
