How Do I Kickstart an Employee Engagement Program During My Summer HR Training?

Hi everybody,

I need help. I'm on summer training in HR, and my project is an employee engagement program. Can anybody suggest how should I begin with?

Thanks & Regards,
Shivani

Dear Shivani,

These are the programs that integrate the individual employee's objectives with the organizational objectives. For example, if an employee achieves their sales target, they will receive some incentive (monetary) and be considered for a foreign tour or promotion, etc. These are the benefits for the employee, and on the other side, due to the increased sales, the company will benefit through profits. Generally, we can tune only employee minds, but these employee engagement programs will be useful to win the hearts of the employees.

Some of the engagement programs we have are as follows:

1. Salad (Sales Achievement Linked Award)
2. Spark (Specialized program for accelerated retail career)
3. Employee of the Month
4. STAR
5. CEO Trophy, etc.

First of all, you have to go through the rules and regulations and prepare a questionnaire to find the effectiveness of the said programs.

Wish you all the best. Go ahead.

Before starting, go for a review of related literature because it will give you an idea of how different companies like Wipro, Infosys, etc., are performing in this regard and what they are doing with respect to employee engagement. This will enhance your understanding of the subject matter as well as the broad concept of employee engagement. Then, pick some of the important dimensions as objectives of your project and focus on those objectives only. You can choose to have a secondary data-based study or a primary data-based study in some selected organizations.

If there is anything you need to consult on, you can email me at [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons].

Hi everyone,

I would like to know how companies are able to actively engage their employees within the organization. Are there any techniques or strategies to be adopted?

Hi Shivani, I am currently doing my summer internship in HR in an organization and am supposed to work on the same topic as yours. I have been asked to come up with new ideas by the HR manager, which he can use to actively engage the employees. Although I have already given him a long list from my side, I am still on the lookout for a few bright ideas. Please feel free to share your views and suggestions.

Thank you.

I would suggest that before starting any employee-related activity, it is very important for you to know the areas of interest of your employees and to understand their points of demotivation or dislikes. Once you know your employees' expectations, it will be easier for you to move in a focused direction.

Steps to Engage Employees

You can begin by conducting online surveys or distributing feedback forms among your employees to design your programs accordingly. If employees express interest in a tour, outdoor activities, indoor recreational activities, or any specific preferences, you can plan accordingly. There is a wealth of material available on the internet for various games, and if they wish to go on a one-day trip or a long-distance journey, you can discuss with your management and plan according to their budget.

I will wait for your reply once you have the output from the feedback forms in your hand.

*BELIEVE ME, WORKING AS PER YOUR EMPLOYEES' EXPECTATIONS CAN WORK WONDERS!!!!*

Hi Rajendra,

First, you have to search for those organizations that are implementing Employee Engagement programs. Then, your work will be much easier.

I am a management student, and my topic for the internship project is Employee Engagement. I would be very grateful if people who are currently working in an IT company in the HR department could fill out a questionnaire for me. That would help me complete my comparative analysis for the project. Please help.

Can anyone help with giving a presentation on an employee engagement program? I have to do a presentation on that for my HR manager.
