Yesterday I promised a list of ways you can encourage your people to share their pride in their own engagement.
Remember, the more they talk about the good their engagement does and the good it makes them feel, the more engagement you will see: from those employees and from their associates. That said, and knowing the benefits of an engaged workforce, there’s no reason not to try one or more of these:
E-mail Pride. Send out an e-mail invitation such as this:
Please summarize a recent success you’ve experienced from your job engagement. Then forward your account to me and another member of our team.
At the appropriate time you can collate all the accounts and make them available for all to read.
A Post-It with Pride board in some trafficked area with high visibility. Make Post-It pads available and insure they will adhere to the board’s surface. Head the board with an invitation such as this:
Write an instance in which you really engaged in a function of your work and received positive results.
You may wish to allow these to be anonymous if that will stimulate more responses. Don’t forget to celebrate the responses posted; that will encourage more.
Kick off the day engagement announcements. Follow the Ritz-Carlton idea of a quick meeting to start the day. Then incorporate individual announcements of their engagement pride into the 10-minute agenda.
You may have employees very briefly share an engagement instance from yesterday. You may invite them to project specifically how they will engage today and what it will accomplish. You may encourage them to tell how they will engage in supporting a team mate.
As I stated yesterday, I know you have more and better ideas for Engagement Pride Opportunities, specifically relevant to your company, your business, and your employees. I hope you will share some of them in the Comment box below.
