The 4 Things Employee Engagement Initiatives Need to Have
01. Alignment. Before you can impact employee engagement, leadership must agree on what engagement is and that it’s a priority worthy of time and money. The effects of a leadership team that’s not fully aligned are severe.
02. Measurement What gets measured gets properly managed. You need to know your current engagement level in order to see its growth following improvements. Measure KPI's like engagement index, employee retention and eNPS.
03. Credibility. Leadership’s proactive participation is a prerequisite to organization-wide credibility around employee engagement initiatives and campaigns. Simply giving credibilities to employees will work.
04. Participation. People love the things they help create. Leadership must find ways to create a participatory process that gives employees voices. Participation in and of itself is delicate and must be methodically developed by focusing first on building comfort.
