Top 1o Employee Engagement Drivers

Top 10 Drivers of Employee Engagement

Before I took a spin around the track in a race car last summer, I needed some knowledge and training that would help me navigate the track and reach the winners circle. It was critically important that I knew what to focus on and how to do it. The same holds true for leaders.

Here are the top 1o employee engagement drivers that leaders must focus on:

Confidence in the organization’s future
A promising future for oneself
Organization supports work- life balance
Contribution is valid
Excited about one’s work
Opportunity for growth and development
Safety is a priority
Leadership has communicated a motivating vision
Organization’s corporate social responsibility efforts increase overall satisfaction
Quality and improvement are top priorities

The four overall factors that consistently drive employee engagement are:

Leaders who inspire confidence in the future
Managers who recognize employees and emphasize quality improvement
Exciting work with the opportunity for growth and development
Organizations that demonstrate a genuine responsibility to their employees and communities
