It would appear
that the economy is starting to improve through various market
indicators. With this improvement comes increased competition and the
turnover by key staff. The engagement of employees and the reduction of
turnover is very important for companies today and in the future. An
engaged workforce will assist companies in remaining competitive and
productive. Key elements of employee engagement are found in three main
drivers of success. These include:
Strong
Employee/Management Relations:
An important driver of employee engagement is the individual employee’s
relationship to their manger. Is their manager supportive, an effective
coach, honest and represents the high ethical values of the organization?
A manager that embodies these key elements will be a partner with the
employee and secure their engagement.
Effective
Communication: Understanding
how the company operates and the strategy for the future will allow the
employee to become more engaged in the success of the organization by
understanding where the company wants to be in the future. Effective
communication includes sharing the business plan and strategy, new products,
financial performance and the vision for the future.
Job Satisfaction: When employees at different levels in the
organization enjoy the job and view their role at the company as challenging
and contributing to the success of the company engaged employees are more
included to give 110%, look for new ideas and be more creative.
Clearly, employee engagement is
an important tool for the leaders of companies today to embrace and support.
