EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT: ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO HELP ENSURE SUCCESS
4/18/2019
Let's Start A Conversation:
Smart companies put a great deal of effort into fostering a culture of employee engagement. There’s a simple yet compelling reason for this. Salaries alone do not guarantee that a company will be able to recruit and retain the best people. Engaged employees are less likely to consider changing jobs if a new opportunity presents itself.
The evidence points to a direct link between engagement and performance. We put together this list with the most important factors that contribute to employee engagement.
Trust in Leadership
According to the Society of Human Resource Management, trust in organizational leadership is the greatest contributor to workforce engagement. When employees trust their managers ability to set the right course and commit to making the company a great place to work, they’re enthusiastic about their jobs and organizational goals.
Building Engagement Through Recognition
Research conducted for the Harvard Review of Business concerning the American airline JetBlue revealed a direct correlation between recognition and engagement. Recognition does not need to be shown through raises or extravagant gestures. Company-branded gifts, such as mugs, pens, apparel, calculators or computer accessories can effectively demonstrate appreciation without straining the company budget.
Personalized recognition awards, such as plaques, trophies or desk organizers, carry even greater weight and their visibility can also help motivate others to perform at a higher level.
Printed Internal Communications
A professionally printed internal communication piece that shows up on everyone’s desk or work station regularly demonstrates management’s recognition of the workforce’s efforts.
Organizational transparency is another big contributor for employee engagement, newsletters and other forms of printed internal communication pieces can assure employees that company leadership has nothing to hide.
Workplace Signage
Eye-catching and informative workplace signage that’s updated regularly helps to develop greater engagement among work teams. The topics can be current and cover issues that address employees’ interests or concerns. They can also help to develop a workforce culture that fosters highly desirable employee traits such as a commitment to customer satisfaction, consistently following through and a strong work ethic.
