Episode 20: How to Make Employee Engagement Second Nature
As a leader, you have a lot on your plate. Meetings, deadlines, reports; there are tons of things on your to-do list and that can make it easy to forget about employee engagement.
In this episode, we’ll go over 6 steps to help employee engagement feel more like second nature instead of a chore.
- Remove yourself from the equation. Focus on the employee experience.
- Be human. Employee engagement is a relationship, not a program. Check out the interview in episode 19 with Marcus Harris, store manager for Starbucks. He shares great examples and insight on employee engagement. www.baproinc.com/ncn19
- Listen more than you speak.
- Be clear in what your employees need. Engagement isn’t one-size-fits-all. Connect with your employees on a level that works for them.
- Be intentional and plan your employee engagement efforts. What you plan represents priority and it’s no different with employee engagement.
