EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Achieving employee engagement and loyalty to the company is not just a one time event. It requires an effort and consistent attempt to make the employees feel that they are connected to the organization.

Fostering a positive environment is  a good way to start. A good trend today is to view the employees as the biggest investment and therefore, should be given an applicable reward. This is very true especially for those who are talented and has good performance. The company as much as possible wants to get hold of them. They are their precious assets. In this case, comes the issue of how can we keep this kind of employees? How can we promote Employee Engagement?

1.      Involved them. (The employees) – Create a positive self-esteem among employees by setting up a goal with them. Let them know that they have the responsibility and let them feel that they are valued. Then, it would be easier to turn that involvement into excitement and a sense of pride in ownership. That will surely contribute to earning the employee engagement.

2.      Organizations must do their best to engage their employees and in return the employees have the choice as to how much level of engagement they will give to the company. Each reinforces the other. It gives the employee the feeling that the company needs him , the same way that the company feels that the employee needs to have a job with them.

3.      Satisfy the employees – Although they said that a satisfied employee doesn’t guarantee an engagement to the company, at least it can contribute to the concept.

Generally, an engaged employee works beyond office hours without being told so and doing the job seriously and correctly even though the immediate boss is not watching.

An engaged employee feels a balanced status – satisfied, committed, empowered and involved.

So therefore, engagement with the employees is good. So why not use it as a tool for business success.
