Dear Colleague,
Employee Engagement is a concept that provides high amount of engagement to the Talents day in day out and throughout the span of life time in an organization.
Engage is to provide the Talents a pleasant feeling and experience in the work life. Many organizations confuse Employee Engagement with the various Events they do on their organization like Birthday function, Day with Manager, Evening dinner, week end parties etc. These are all not at all employee engagement.
What really employee engagement is from the day the organization touch base with the employee when he was a candidate to till the date he leaves the organization either by resignation or retirement. These intervention may be but not limited to:
- Employee Value Proposition
- Personal care by Managers
- Role Clarity
- Role enhancement and enrichment
- Inspiring Welfare measure for self and family
-Employee friendly Policies
- Freedom in doing the job
- Challenging Job opportunities
- New Learning in the Job
-Providing continuous learning opportunities in the job
-Career Growth upward and cross functional
- Freedom to implement ideas and new thoughts
- Organizational Communication
-Open management philosophy
- Brand of Employer
- Support during crisis of the employee
- Care for the Family of employee by way systems and policies
- Inclusiveness in all key decisions
- Periodic financial and non-financial rewards
and the list keeps going depending on your tailor made needs of the organization. Employee engagement intervention has to be decided by the organization internally and kindly note that it can not be copy paste from other organizations as it will never work. You will be the best judge being an Internal Manager for your organization than any one from outside.
All the Best.
