It is interesting that the trend against employee engagement seems to be well and truly waning. There are almost weekly articles around engagement is old news. And it’s true to say that the term has lost currency with all the new buzz words around..
But it is also true to say that the basics of what makes for both a good workplace and an engaged worker stay the same.
I posted a blog on a simple model of engagement that had this model:
Listen (to what your employees are telling you)
Engage (with what’s important to them and what will make a difference to the business)
Act (don’t just talk about it, do something about it)
Deliver (what you say you’re going to do, or at least say why you can’t)
So today, it is over to you .. What do you think makes for engagement in the workplace?
