Studies around the world have revealed that engagement levels have a direct impact on employee's performance and consequently on the bottom line. A well established co-relation exists between employee engagement and business results. Engagement : Some Quotes (from articles in professional journals) Work never kills a person; the absence of it (unemployment) has killed many. Remaining idle is not human nature. No one likes to avoid work if there is clarity on what to do & how it will be evaluated. Keeping work force idle produces negativity which impacts on team performance. Engagement comes through involvement; people deliver more if they are emotionally involved with the work. Delaying decisions on personal issues creates stress & diverts employee's attention from work. Absence of engagement is a challenge that can produce industrial unrest. Unless you know people intimately, you can't engage them effectively. To keep their teams engaged, managers have to remain super-engaged. An empowered manager is an incubator of employee engagement. Employee motivation improves engagement levels. Trust, developed through transparency, promotes engagement. Engagement is fostered by Leadership; managers who lead from the front keep their task force actively engaged. Occasional encouragement always improves engagement. Engagement comes through commitment. Attitudinal transformation creates a temperament for healthy engagement. Employee engagement has transformed many organizations. Who is an engaged employee? Experience reveals that engaged employees always demonstrate most of the attributes given below: Good understanding of company's business. Full clarity about own role & job deliverables. Always achieve assigned goals; often exceed expectations. Keen to put in extra-effort to accomplish a task. De-link own performance from rewards & recognition. Keep the work bench neat & tidy and take good care of job tools. Always keen to learn something new. Exhibit high energy levels at all times. Highly information conscious if in the position of a supervisor/ manager. Never say, “it is not my job”. Willingly take on additional responsibility. Have an outstanding record of personal discipline & attendance. Self accountable & highly responsible: have no back-log of work at any time. Always available to assist others; provide willing support to the team. Have a consistently high record of performance. Never come under pressure : always cool and adaptable by nature. Not over-concerned with work-life balance. Bubbling with new ideas: enjoy experimenting. Seldom initiate complaints & grievances. Consciously improve processes that impede work. Highly allergic to slow & sluggish people. Always lead subordinates though personal example. What Reduces Employee Engagement: A common problem with organizations is demanding more productivity without creating a conducive work environment which enables involvement of employees at all levels. Some of the diseases observed are as under: Lack of awareness of the management about the use of modern HR technology to create a healthy work environment. Lack of empowerment of the managers/ supervisors. HR Technology for creating healthy work environment 20 to 30% of an employee's time is spent on personal issues such as: Read Further |

Businesses continue to build technology-based platforms to encourage the sharing of information and creative thinking. The ability to quickly engage one another quickly will help you to get ahead of their competitors. In reality, most business owners now rely on technology to be able to engage with their employees, both in and out of the office. Collaboration at this level will allow employees to maintain a better work-life balance. Technology within the workplace continues to allow businesses to improve communication with employees. In addition, technology can also help you to expand your business more efficiently and quickly. Tools such as virtual technology, social networking, and online portals make employee engagement limitless. The expansion of business technology is also important because it elevates communication by allowing information to be exchanged using multiple channels instantaneously. The Use of Performance Management Tools The use of employee and self-service management tools allow employees to access and manage company data. Several different self-service portals also enable Human Resources to allow employees to perform a variety of tasks. This includes the ability to respond quickly to network requests such as updating their employee information, applying for jobs in different departments and reviewing and responding to job evaluations. The Ability to Collaborate Between Departments Collaboration is one of the most essential methods of communication for your business. This type of communication within all departments can help to make your business successful. The collaborative efforts allow departments to differentiate between budgets, goals and project management timelines. The Use Of Technology Based Workgroups Employee workgroups can help your employees engage, sync and share information throughout the lifecycle of a project. The workgroups allow you to diversify your business goals between employees and share multiple points of view regarding projects such as the development of budgets, structuring timelines and streamlining communication. Employee Training And Education Training and development is an essential part of most businesses to remain competitive. Blended learning tools allow your employees to maintain a flexible schedule. Typically, blended learning consists of using e-learning tools or virtual classrooms in addition to in-person sessions.

Social Engagement Within The Workplace Social interaction using technology can help to strengthen relationships between you and your employees. The opportunity to engage socially with your employees, is also good for creating brand awareness. Employees can actively help promote your business by posting thoughts and ideas about the company and any upcoming projects or promotions.

An engaged employee wants to have a say in the business, they need to feel like they’re part of a team that’s working towards a common goal, and crucially, they need to feel that they are a valued member of the company – not just a tool for generating profit. |

Technology is becoming the heart of every business that wants to maintain constant communication with its clients, employees, and prospective customers. Performance management software tracks and monitors employee performance and increases employee engagement using bots, AI, and VR. Employees are also able to communicate easily with their superiors and share their feedback. This system makes employees feel valued and engaged. |

Absolutely, technology can significantly enhance employee engagement. It provides avenues for efficient communication and collaboration through tools like messaging and project management apps, fostering real-time teamwork regardless of location. Moreover, technology facilitates remote work, granting flexibility and better work-life balance, resulting in increased job satisfaction and motivation. Feedback and recognition systems can easily be implemented through technology, boosting employee morale and engagement. Online learning platforms enable skill development, showcasing an organization's commitment to growth. Additionally, wellness apps and digital programs offer resources for stress management and mental health support. Through technology, engagement surveys and data analysis can be conducted, aiding in understanding employee sentiments and tailoring strategies for improvement. Yet, it's important to strike a balance, avoiding information overload and valuing human connections, as technology can sometimes distance people from face-to-face interactions. |

Hey there, It's pretty eye-opening to see how much of an impact employee engagement can have on a company's bottom line, right? Those quotes really drive home the importance of keeping employees invested and involved in their work. From what I gather, engaged employees are the ones who really get what the company's all about, know their role inside out, and aren't afraid to go the extra mile to get things done. They're like the MVPs of the workplace, always stepping up and bringing their A-game. On the flip side, it's clear that if employees aren't feeling engaged, it can lead to some serious issues like low productivity and morale. Things like outdated HR practices and managers not feeling empowered can really put a damper on the whole vibe. That's where HR technology comes in. By using modern tools and practices, companies can create a work environment that's more supportive and engaging. It's all about giving managers the tools they need to empower their teams and foster a culture of collaboration. So, if your company's looking to boost employee engagement and drive better results, maybe it's time to start exploring some of these modern HR solutions. Who knows, it could be just the thing to take your team to the next level. |
