Ask any CEO about the companies “Real Asset” and he will quickly point out the employees working in his organization. Every company believes that if they want to succeed in the ever growing fiercely competitive market then they have to keep the employees highly motivated and encouraged. This can be done through keeping the employees engaged in their work so that you get maximum benefit out of it. Though it is easy say but little hard to put in practice. To keep the employees engaged we need to be specific about the work, clear the path and offer the necessary support, and offer meaningful purpose in what they do.
Let discuss the three important aspects below
1. Always be precise
Whenever communicating to the employees about their performance it is important to be precise about what exactly you expect from them. Well defined goals help employees to keep engaged and productive in their work. If a person is working on a certain project then it becomes important for the managers to be precise of what they want form the person working on the project, when they need the project to be completed and what should be the approach. They should even be told of the way they need to communicate with the other team members so that sharing and collaboration take place in the optimum manner.
2. Create a vibrant work eco-system
With competition increasing day-by-day it is imperative for companies to offers a relaxed work environment for employees to perform better. Businesses should also enable greater employee engagement by removing obstacles such as overlapping mandates, conflicting priorities and insufficient resources. There should be a mechanism to capture employee’s feedback and address them at the earliest so that obstacles which are not allowing employees to perform better can be removed.
3. Offer meaningful work
Encouraging and motivating employees to do meaningful work helps them to deliver higher productivity. Employee engagement is highest when individuals can see how their work is been appreciated and recommended. Leaders need to create a strong vision that will help employees to move ahead in their work and find themselves in the larger part of things. It is said that when it comes to employee engagement, the context of the work is supreme.
