Here’s a quick reminder of 5 critical criteria for employee engagement:
- Communication – employees want to be able share their views openly, be listened to and be kept up to date on organisational performance no matter how good or bad
- Employees’ belief that managers are committed to the organisation AND them as individuals
- People want to have the ability to contribute to decisions, and have devolved authority to make appropriate decisions
- Development opportunities provide employees with the tools to progress their careers and benefit the organisation
- Evidence that the organisation genuinely cares about the health and well being of staff.
Employee engagement is multi-faceted and these are by no means the whole bundle. But, it doesn’t do any harm to remind ourselves of the important things – these 5 provide a sound foundation for moving the organisation forward.
