Everyone’s looking for the recipe for employee engagement. How do you get motivated, happy and productive workers? To start, think about the six components to Employee Engagement listed below:
1. FIT: Is the employee a FIT with the organization–its culture? Is the purpose of the organization meaningful to the employee? Are the values of the organization in harmony with the employee’s values? Is the employee a FIT with the job? Does the employee feel one’s work is significant and is the best use of one’s abilities?
2. TRUST: Do you have a trusting workplace where people feel their leaders have integrity–they’re honest, respected and fair?
3. CARING: Is it a caring workplace? Is collaboration/teamwork encouraged? Do employees have friends at work?
4. OPENNESS: Do you have ongoing, open, two-way communication? Do employees feel leaders/managers listen to them? Is information freely shared?
5. DEVELOPMENT: Does the organization support individual development? Do employees get meaningful and positive feedback? Does the workplace encourage achievement and mastery?
6. OWNERSHIP: Do employees have autonomy and responsibility? Do they feel involved and participate in decision making? Is work flexible?
When employee’s human needs are met, they are more engaged.
