Productivity strategies are a must in organizations these days in order to yield high results from the workforce. To make sure that there is efficiency, these strategies need to work both ways. This means that the company must value its employees and also the employees must be loyal towards their company. The best way to make this happen is to improve employee engagement. With growing competition for the companies to retain their employees along with ensuring good productivity, this is a very important factor. When an individual feels directly connected to the organization, he tends to put in more effort. To make this happen at your workplace, follow certain tips which will boost employee engagement.

3 tips to improve employee engagement

1.     Show the employees’ involvement in the company growth

Coming to work, finishing the job, and heading home is an ancient ideology which isn’t exactly beneficial. When an employee develops such an attitude, he doesn’t crave to grow at a rapid pace. If your employee won’t grow, nor will the organization. This is why it is important to make him understand his role in the company’s growth. Show each employee how his contribution helps the organization grow as a whole. If the organization will grow, so will he. Loyalty developed in this manner will boost his work productivity. When someone wants to move forward, it is reflected in his efforts as well. This will result in the workforce working wholeheartedly without paying attention to only his growth as an individual.

When an individual feels directly connected to the organization, he tends to put in more effort.

2.     Discuss individual roles in team meetings

Firstly, it is essential to carry out meetings on a regular basis to keep a track of what has been done and how far is the team from achieving its goal. This regulates the work done and does not leave any scope for lethargy. In such meetings, make it a point to discuss every individual’s role separately. Frame the discussion in such a manner that the person feels involved and show how his contribution can make the team move an inch forward towards the goal. In every meeting, you can compare how his previous efforts helped gain momentum and his next steps will do the same.

3.      Recognize talent openly

We can’t stress enough about the importance of appreciating your employees. This is so that they feel valued and they are motivated to do better. But the best way to do so is by appreciating them in front of others. It is human nature to feel flattered when complimented and it is more flattering when the compliments are given in front of an audience. Use the regular meetings as a medium to appreciate the employees who have done well. This will have two benefits. The person who is appreciated will want to maintain his efficiency. The other people who witness this will also want the appreciation and hence will strive to do better.
