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
