Are you aware of how actively your employees are engaged at work? For an organization to be most profitable and achieve the greatest ROI, it’s essential that employees are thriving; thriving in the sense that employees are coming into work with the right mindset and attitude to take on the day and tasks ahead. Good news! Getting your team motivated and increasing employee engagement just got a whole lot easier; EOX Vantage is here to share our top tips and tricks!
Here are our top recommendations for creating a company atmosphere that inspires innovation and encourages employees to get excited about work!
Consistent Mission and Vision
Every organization has a unique mission and vision that defines their core values. But can everyone within the organization define them? The mission and vision shouldn’t change from department to department… it should be clear, consistent and concise. This proves to be a driving factor in creating unity and a community that enables employees to thrive.
Let Your Employees In
Unlock the information they crave. No one can perform up to par when they go in blindly. How are you supposed to exceed expectations if the direction your company is going in isn’t clear?
Match Strengths With Skills
It’s vital that each employee’s specific role fits into the overall growth of the organization to maximize success. Why assign employees to tasks where they are not not equipped to thrive? The key for maximum efficiency and the likelihood of employees enjoying their job correlates directly with matching their job role to their skill sets. It’s a crucial factor in ensuring that engagement is at its peak.
Freedom
No one wants to be micromanaged, and it doesn’t generally produce good end-results. Employees become frustrated and work begins to slack. To ensure engagement and excitement in the workplace, provide a space that allows employees to do their job well and in a way that is best suited for them. What we’re saying is, don’t be afraid to challenge the status quo. When you’re not constantly hounding employees, you will be surprised at the results they offer in an environment that allows them to flourish.
Lead by Example
It’s a phrase that has been reinforced to us since grade school, “lead by example.” To engineer a team of dedicated employees and spark compelling ideas, it is crucial that the leader is on-board, showing that they too, love the job and company they’re working for.
There are many ways you can create an environment for your employees to prosper and it needn’t be hard! Simple changes are all it takes… because who wants an organization where everyone hates their job? No one! Help your employees thrive and not just survive.
