Some of the Effective Employee Engagement Methods.


Individual well-being
 
Individual well being is really important. This brings enjoyment in the work that they do physical strength and financial knowledge and work life balance is important.

Work satisfaction 

Work satisfaction is also important. When the employees have the satisfaction in what they do, they will willingly come to work and give more than 100% to their job.

Growth opportunity 

Growth opportunities should be immense and there should not be any bias treatment when it comes to giving promotion.

Office culture 

Office culture also affects a lot in employee engagement. The office culture should be friendly, warm, should promote job enrichment and boost promotion.

Rewards & Recognition Methods

Employee performance should be recognized and rewarded appropriately and in a timely manner.

“Bottom Up” thinking, not “Top Down”

We don’t build a house starting from the roof and working downwards. the same goes for companies. If we don’t know what it’s thinking, we will be in a trouble. By using questionnaires and surveys it is easy to gauge employees’ feelings and opinions. The more employees are asked their opinions, the more they will feel empowered, trusted and respected, and more engaged they will be.

Listening to employees
If a clear issue has been identified, then it should be acted upon. More importantly, it should be visibly addressed, particularly if you have discussed it with them. Knowing that one’s opinions are not only listened to but also contribute to change is another way to increase engagement. 
Sharing good practices and ideas between teams
There’s nothing better than seeing employees' ideas and work practices being praised, so ensure that the employees have the opportunity to share and display their very best work. 
Having an employee voice
Having a once-a-year satisfaction survey is not enough to gauge how the company is doing. Also need to facilitate channels where each employee can raise issues and give feedback.

Understanding individual learning styles and preferences
If you understand how your employees learn – whether they prefer to work independently or in groups, for example – you will also find out a lot about how well they work and in which ways they are more likely to engage with projects.

    These are the others way that you can effectively engage employees
    Informative Engagement
    This is naturally the most traditional method, being the one-way information about company benefits and the present/future situations for employees.

    This is done through –

    Paper documents
    Electronic documents
    Verbal education
    The emotional response from this process is relatively low, as it does not require the employee to fully digest the information or more importantly, understand its meaning in the context of their lives. It is a one-way information which will usually is speed-read and then filed away. But this information typically carries long-term important content, particularly as reference material for when it suddenly becomes high priority, such as a Healthcare benefit in a time of illness. Hence its monetary value to the employee can be high, but the emotional engagement value can be low for employee retention.



    Reciprocal Engagement
    Particularly for large companies, the latter half of the 20th Century majored strongly on this with even greater emphasis put on it now. There are many business support companies that run a two-way communication and training sessions for staff, covering topics such as −

    Employee Assistance Programs
    imply don’t have time to do their main job whilst seeking to understand every nuance of their employees. This is where technology can help.

    Until now, technology has been limited to factors as explained in Informative Engagement and Reciprocal Engagement above. But now we are in an era where real time information can be integrated with personal preferences. With the growth of Social Networking Tools and “Big Data”, we can start to automate the process of specific and individualized engagement. It will always need human interaction to apply the wisdom of understanding and building relationships, but the gathering of user habits and preferences is quite normal now.

    For example −

    We often see online forms pre-populated for us.

    We receive targeted online advertisements that are relevant to our web browsing.

    We can see a breakdown of our spending habits through online banking.

    The same is becoming prevalent in the workplace and we have the data to work with the staff to make their lives easier and simpler. Techniques are appearing that combine employee preferences with their actual benefits and future development Programs.

    Bear in mind that people of the Millennial Mindset are becoming more inclined to interact with their always-on mobile devices outside of normal working hours. It is clear that where relevant data is used in an automated way, that can be very powerful for improving efficiency and reducing the need for decision making process

  2. Hi Randhika,

    My idea is Where these strategies really shine, however, is on our Learning and Talent Development Platform. It’s proven that group learning facilitates engagement, so use strategies such as online simulations, group assignments, and augmented learning.
