Unleash the Power Of Your People

In today’s competitive landscape, a critical key driver of business success is a high level of employee engagement. Employee engagement is a workplace condition where all the members of the company are committed to its mission, vision, and goals. This is where they understand their roles and are at the highest level of satisfaction, motivation, and trust because they know their purpose and they feel that their well-being is considered and nurtured. 

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, businesses have struggled in keeping employees engaged. They have been taking sick leaves often; they have been lacking in initiative and interest; so on and so forth. When these happen, employers must understand certain drivers of employee engagement, and make sure they are met. According to Gallup Inc., these key drivers are the following:

1. Purpose

   
   

2. Development

   
   

3. A caring manager

   
   

4. Ongoing conversations

   
   

5. A focus on strengths

Here are some innovative ways that relate to these drivers and consequently encourage productivity, boost morale, and show that you care enough about them beyond the professional level.

1. Create organizational development programs where teamwork, collaboration, and communication are explored and encouraged. This may mean having members of different departments engage with each other to create a more meaningful relationship that allows them to be accountable but also to understand one another.

   
   

2. Plan self-care sessions and encourage work-life-balance where employees can enjoy a day of rest and recharge. This can be company-wide or one-on-one meetings where employees have a safe space to be themselves or to share stories.

   
   

3. Develop, upskill, or create career growth plans for employees. This would possibly include training them with skills to expand their roles and to show that they are highly valued.

   
   

4. Recognize innovations, contributions, and achievements. In fact, employers can even reward their workers who are able to fully engage with their job roles and do meaningful work. This gives them more motivation to continue to contribute and do even more than what is asked for. 

   
   

5. Look at Philinsure’s programs for mental health support. These include premium services like leadership development, employee wellness programs, effective employee coaching, and an enhanced automated payroll system, among many others that will ultimately lead to an environment that is good for every worker’s mental health.

Now the question is: How about you? Are you well-engaged? Is your team focused on clear goals? Are they empowered? Businesses should understand how employees make decisions and perform actions that can directly affect the company and everyone who is part of it, which is why it’s become very important that employees are treated and valued positively by their employers.
