Yes! We can do that… A frugal minded management has not always been in favor of employee engagement activities. Actually they have a wrong perception that all the engagements activities are directly link with any incentive or cost.

As HR leaders we are challenged to guide many changes and are always enough optimistic and service minded to their employees. If we need to gain confidence from both, do something very diplomatically. It should be effective as well as cost free.

First of all you have to make understand your Management about the importance of employee engagement. There are many merits of employee engagement. I believe the most important aspect is engaged employees retention % are very high than others.

Existing employee retention is critically important for all organizations due to turn over expensive and top performers are always driving the business. At the same time it is equally important to ensure that new employee should be boosted and engaged as they can give fresh ideas and contribute for new process change etc. As a whole it’s very crucial to retain new talents as they can also be a big impact of the future of the organisation.

I think “employee connects program” would be a better option for effectively engaging the new joinee. For doing this, someone has to be given sole responsibility (preferably a female) for completing and monitoring the task without any delay. Commonly a direct interaction between the hiring officers to the new joinee may also be a good option.

Let’s prepare a questionnaire / checklist/ script well in ready to launch this. It should be fit for any role like “a barber's chair that fits all buttocks”. Here I am attaching a script that I prepared for my existing Company.

We can execute this connect program in to two phases, one for immediately after completing one week and another for after completing one month.

Designing your own game rules makes playing a lot more fun. Having teams create a team culture, based on 2-3 commonly agreed values or ground rules can help nurture and speed up that process.

Give employees a 1-2 h/ day window to pursue their own projects. Having people from different departments connecting and bouncing ideas can help get a new perspective.
4. Assign a buddy/mentor for every newcomer
An important part of the on-boarding process is having someone answer some really important questions. Questions that someone would be hesitant to simply ask a manager. Building a trustworthy relationship with someone with more experience in that company can help guide the newcomer. This way he or she can better adapt and grow part of the team.

This initiative can bring a lot of fun and increase employee loyalty. Bring your [insert object/person here] to work or Chocolate [insert day here] can boost up employee morale and kill monotony at work.

Have photos of your team on a wall, or frame them around the office. Group photos, funny photos, events photos or random photos snapped when people weren’t watching. It’s a cultural element that can encourage and foster work relationships and employee engagement.
7. Encourage volunteering
Give your employees a couple of days a month to volunteer for a cause they support.
