When your employees are engaged in their work, they show up on time, are more productive and stay with your company longer. You benefit from increased output, greater retention rates and an improved bottom line. Find out how you can engage your workers and turn them into top performers.
Promote Your Mission & Vision
Actively promote how and why your company does what it does. Show your organization’s values and ethics through how you do business. Your staff want to feel good about who they work for, which is shown through your company’s branding and culture.
Set Professional Goals
Your employees want to know what’s most important to your business, what direction your company is heading and how they can help you make progress. Therefore, you should help your staff set professional goals related to your company’s overall objectives. Workers will feel they have ownership in the company and work harder to achieve their goals.
Be Transparent
Share with your staff what’s going on within your organization and how their individual roles contribute to those events. It’s especially important you share major news with your employees before they hear about it through the media, family or friends. Your workers will appreciate having you place your trust in them and will do all they can to help your business grow.
Communicate Openly
Ask about what matters most to your employees through surveys, suggestion boxes and team meetings. Ensure workers may submit their thoughts anonymously so they feel more comfortable being honest with their answers. Do your best to address their concerns and achieve desired results.
Support Personal and Professional Growth
Offer your employees additional education through coaching, cross training and other personal development. When your workers keep growing, they want to apply their skills to the workplace, making them more productive and valuable to your organization.
Foster Trust
Your employees need to trust you and each other for your organization to operate as a cohesive team. Be honest when speaking about issues, and follow through on your commitments. Ensure your staff act accordingly so everyone knows others have their backs.
Encourage Innovation
Let your workers have a say in company operations. Your team members may have innovative ideas for completing tasks more efficiently, saving money or moving the business in another direction.
Give Regular Feedback
Guide your employees so they know what they’re doing well and what needs improvement. They’ll feel empowered when you encourage them for their contributions and provide assistance with areas they need to work on.
Celebrate
Celebrate when your staff reach their monthly or quarterly goals. Your workers will feel important and validated. Others will want to excel so they get recognized as well.
