Employee engagement is a foundational component to workplace outcomes. If you want to talk about wellbeing, manager development, performance, and more, you also have to talk about employee engagement. It’s important to cultivate a belief in the power of engagement across your entire company and the first step is making engaging leadership part of your culture. To drive this, focus on four key steps.
-
Measure engagement levels through a survey. You can’t manage what you don’t measure.
-
Actively develop engaging leaders. Use workshops and coaching to help managers make engaging behaviours more habitual.
-
Select engaging leaders to fill high-impact roles. Use tools like 360 reviews to assess and predict whether someone can improve his or her engagement skills.
- Reward the engagement you achieve. Tying incentives to engagement survey scores can be tricky, but you need to get serious about recognising leaders who are engaging – and holding accountable those who are not.
