What have been your successful strategies to ensure employee engagement? ✏️ First and foremost is establishing a genuine connection with each and every employee. Insist your supervisors meet one-on-one with each employee and find out their career interests and what they enjoy most about their job. Have career discussions at least once a year. Match new employees with a mentor. Promote from within. Provide flexibility with hours and try to accommodate work/life balance as much as possible. Part-time professional opportunities and job sharing are great strategies to keep working parents engaged with your company. Personally, I worked part-time as a HR Director for 7 years when my children were young and a few others on my team were also part-time professionals. It can work if you are flexible. I was later promoted to a VP role. I stayed working at that particular company 16 years until the company was sold. Recognize employees whenever possible in as many ways as possible. Simple ideas such as “Employee of the Month” and celebrating birthdays and work anniversaries can go a long way but even more effective is genuinely thanking people on the team who are doing a great job. Pay fairly and as close to market as possible and provide a solid benefits package. And, one last piece of advice, don’t pay new people coming in to entry level jobs more than the existing people on the team. If hiring rates have gone up to keep up with market, adjust others already on the team.

Creating HR policies that boost employee engagement requires a thoughtful and strategic approach that prioritizes the needs and well-being of employees. Here's how HR policies can be developed to enhance employee engagement: Firstly, it's essential to involve employees in the policy development process. 🗣️📝 Soliciting feedback through surveys, focus groups, or one-on-one discussions can provide valuable insights into employees' preferences, concerns, and areas for improvement. By actively involving employees in policy decisions, HR can ensure that policies resonate with the workforce and address their specific needs and priorities. Secondly, HR policies should be transparent, clear, and easily accessible to all employees. 📜🔍 Clear communication of policies helps employees understand their rights, responsibilities, and entitlements, fostering trust and confidence in the organization. Providing easy access to policy documents through digital platforms or employee handbooks ensures that employees can refer to them whenever needed. Furthermore, HR policies should align with the organization's values, culture, and strategic objectives. 🌟🏢 Policies that reflect the organization's commitment to diversity, inclusion, and employee well-being demonstrate a genuine concern for employees' interests and contribute to a positive work environment. For example, policies promoting work-life balance, flexible work arrangements, and wellness initiatives can demonstrate the organization's commitment to employee satisfaction and engagement. Additionally, HR policies should be designed to promote fairness, equity, and consistency across the organization. ⚖️🛠️ Fair and consistent application of policies helps build trust and confidence among employees, ensuring that everyone is treated fairly and equitably. This includes policies related to performance management, compensation, benefits, and career development. Lastly, HR policies should be regularly reviewed and updated to adapt to changing business needs, regulatory requirements, and employee feedback. 🔄📈 Continuous evaluation of policies allows HR to identify areas for improvement, address emerging issues, and ensure that policies remain relevant and effective in promoting employee engagement. In summary, creating HR policies that boost employee engagement requires a collaborative, transparent, and employee-centric approach. By involving employees in the policy development process, communicating policies clearly, aligning them with organizational values, ensuring fairness and consistency, and regularly reviewing and updating policies, HR can effectively support employee engagement and contribute to a positive and productive work environment. ------------------------------------ #Employee #Engagement #HR #Policies #Workplace #Wellbeing #Employee #Satisfaction #Positive #Work #Environment

The latest annual employee engagement survey results are in and the findings are troubling. The survey conducted across a range of industries found that the overall employee engagement rate has dropped to just 23% - the lowest level recorded since the survey began over a decade ago. The drop in engagement is concerning for a number of reasons. Engaged employees are more productive, more committed to the company’s success and less likely to leave for other opportunities. Low engagement on the other hand is linked to higher absenteeism, lower productivity and increased turnover of staff, all of which can have a significant financial impact on your business. The survey results, points to a few key factors: ▪️Lack of opportunities for growth and advancement ▪️Poor communication and transparency from leadership ▪️Feelings of being undervalued and not heard ▪️High workloads and burnout At Vertical Motives Consultancy Ltd we work with our clients to implement processes and strategies which encourage conversations and interactions with colleagues , such as: ▪️Regular check-ins ▪️Setting clear objectives ▪️Creating career paths Engaged people are the backbone of any successful business, let us help you!

'Tis the season for planning your Q4 events including the highly anticipated end-of-year celebration! 🎊 It's the time when you do a call for volunteers for the internal planning committee as part of your employee engagement strategy (experience not required? 🙃) It's the time when management tells the wider company they need to push to meet revenue objectives so they can actually have an end-of-year event OR one with a decent budget. 🥲 💫Two pieces of advice: 1️⃣allow your internal event coordinator to lead the charge on this project. They will know how best to guide the process based on your goals. 2️⃣when budgeting, allow the team to include external support for them on the day so they can *actually* enjoy the event they're about to work so hard planning. Ok. A Bonus: 3️⃣Let your team focus on their already long list of responsibilities, and meeting and exceeding their objectives. Outsource the ‘heavy lifting’ planning. Your internal team/rep can serve as the guide and point of contact in that process. Happy Planning! 💜

Employee Engagement One of the top strategies organisations can employ to retain top talent is employee engagement. I think employers and HR should know that at this age of Gen Z, high salary might not retain your top talent if the organization lacks good strategic employee engagement and open culture. It is important for an organization to put in place some employee engagement strategies in place to retain their top talent and avoid talent flight or attrition. strategies like employee of the month, employee of the year, TGIF, Quarterly birthday celebration, employee anniversary, Karaoke night, village town hall etc, these strategies enables employer, HR and employees to bond, it reveals the bias and grievance among employees and employers, and also encourage team bonding... Some employees are facing depression and they can unwind if they have an engaging and exciting job whereby they feel like families at the workplace, as they spend much of their time at work than home. Remember a happy employee is a productive employee, and a productive and happy employee brings a positive vibe and productivity to the organisation, people stay where they are valued and recognize than organizations where they feel like a lone wolf! #HR #Employee #Staff #Workplace #employer #CIPM #Team
