5 Novel Strategies to Engaging Employees
The following five strategies will help you to effectively engage staff and achieve superior results.
- Championing the Direction – One of the major roles you will play as a manager/team leader is to understand the organizational vision and in turn help others understand its importance. You need to champion the direction the company is going – through simple, everyday messages/activities that your workforce understands.
- Listening to Employees – You will have to understand the needs and priorities of workers by using the art of listening as a tool.
- Aligning the Priorities – You should help employees clearly understand the major issues the organization is facing (especially the issues facing their department or team) and you must be able to establish a set of related priorities. After you achieve this task, you should ensure that the efforts of the workers are totally and consistently aligned to those priorities.
- Demonstrating the Desired Behaviors – You should demonstrate the desired behaviors every day as an example for everyone to follow. For this, you need to be aware of the systems and processes of the organization.
- Connecting the Employees – Engagement is all about linking people, strategies, and the day-to-day work experience. You should develop the skill sets that will enable you to consistently connect with the employees. These include active hearing, facilitation, mentoring, rationalizing, and dispute resolution.
You need to understand that engaged employees believe what you want them to believe and will do anything, even if it means walking through walls.
