Experts consider ten ways to increase engagement. When choosing the best tool, consider the specifics of your company, but for the greatest effect, it is advisable to combine different methods.
The ability to openly express your opinion
Organize a "Storeroom of ideas" for employees, where they could freely express their thoughts and make comments on the merits. You can use a mailbox or the company's own website for this. It is important to study the contents of this place from time to time and implement successful proposals into practice, work on correcting the shortcomings noticed, and express gratitude to employees, including through rewards. However, a characteristic feature of such "storerooms" is that they are often a formality, and in reality, management does not pay any attention to them.
Competitions
Employees do not have to compete with line database each other in creativity. This format is acceptable, as it allows you to form a strong and loyal team, but participation must be completely voluntary. Coercion cannot achieve good results. Business competitions give a good effect. If you present a difficult situation and offer to find a way out of it, you need to involve employees from all departments.
This increases interest, develops objective thinking and helps to establish strong connections between departments. In addition, you can hold a competition of photographs, children's drawings, etc. And, naturally, the whole team needs to choose the winners and present the awards.
Tools to increase employee engagement
Organizing joint leisure time in an unusual format
Many people are tired of everyday meetings. Periodically add variety to corporate life: attend a cooking master class together, organize outdoor events and discuss serious issues along the way. Your budget does not allow it? Do a general cleaning of the office or suggest that employees arrange their workspace beautifully, use their imagination. Take photos so that they can be looked at with interest later. The key to engagement is in teamwork and genuine, bright emotions. The best photos can be used to decorate the walls of the office for a positive mood.
