Reduce Your HR Issues with Improved Employee Engagement

Simply put, happier employees are easier to manage whereas unhappy, disinterested employees are more difficult. If you want to reduce workplace issues like firings and other unpleasant hassles, you’ll want to start by encouraging employee engagement.

When managing your teams, keep in mind:

·       People work better when they feel like what they’re doing means something.

·       Positive reinforcement is underestimated—and free.

·       Listen to employee feedback and make a genuine effort to attend to reasonable requests.  

When it comes to curating the right work environment, managers are responsible for much of the energy that envelops the office. With that in mind, you want to make sure you foster an environment that makes people want to return to work the next day, not savor every moment leading up to it.

To develop more strategies our Great Engagement: Engage and Mobilize Employees Training Program focuses on simple but powerful behaviours that will have maximum impact on a leader’s ability to engage his or her employees.

Master Your Mind, Master Your Life

Imagine what would be possible if you could choose:

  • to not stress out over what you can’t control
  • push away self-doubts
  • recover from disappointments immediately and
  • spend little time in anger, regret, or blame.

This is absolutely possible with mental fitness training. In as little as 10 seconds, you can:

1. Develop greater mastery over your own mind
2. Quiet the negative and
3. Activate the positive region of your brain.

In fact, MRI research found that within 6-8 weeks of mental fitness training the brain’s grey matter:

  • increased in the Sage PQ brain region and
  • decreased in the Saboteur “survival brain” region

Enroll in the Positive Intelligence®: Mental Fitness Foundation Program.

The next program begins May 28.

A More Engaged Workforce Leads to Improved Recruiting and Retention

Employees that are more engaged with their work are naturally going to become more invested over time. This sense of connection to work makes it much more likely for someone to stick around. It also makes it more attractive to prospective employees when you’re working on recruitment efforts. 

Before your business experiences this sort of trickle-down effect, you’ll need to make sure you’re implementing the right practices to get your workforce engaged: 

·       Offer long-term incentives for employees who stay with the company for a certain number of years. 

·       Create an employee referral program where current employees can recommend qualified applicants for open positions.

·       Offer short-term rewards as recognition for current employees (or something similar that recognizes their work on a current, recurring basis).

·       Teamwork truly is everything—if everyone contributes, tasks become easier for everyone.

Improve Quality of Work by Increasing Employee Engagement

Regardless of the nature of your business, when an employee is more engaged in their work, the outcome always improves. If you want to ensure that your business is sustainable, you need to make sure your team holds the same standards you do.

When employee engagement increases, you can expect:

·       Increased motivation leads to better time management.

·       Better focus results in fewer errors.

·       Higher chance of completing tasks.

·       A positive work ethic and attitude are often contagious.

The concept is simple, motivated employees are more invested in the result of their efforts. Even a small shift in behavior will lead to measurable improvements for any employee. Once an employee hits that sweet spot and feels a valuable return from their work, the potential for improvement just continues to grow.

Improve Your Customer Service with Employee Engagement

Customer service employees are a direct reflection of your business. Disgruntled and dissatisfied employees are much more likely to have unpleasant interactions with customers. Similarly, engaged and committed employees will generally act with the best intentions in mind.

Why are engaged employees better for customer service?

· Better at responding to sensitive situations.

· An employee’s attitude is the first thing a customer gets to experience from your business. 

· More likely to be more knowledgeable and helpful.

· More attentive and aware of the situation at hand. 

At the end of the day, you want to make sure you have employees that represent you in the best way possible. If you start by working on employee engagement, those other benefits will naturally follow.

Three Ways to Accomplish More in Less Time

Have you ever walked into work only to sit down and realize that an entire eight hours has passed by? Not only that but have you also had the feeling of not accomplishing nearly enough? While the day has seemed to escape you, there are ways to accomplish more in less time that won’t leave you with an out-of-body experience at the end of the day.

Here are three tips for accomplishing more in your workday in less time.

1. Plan Ahead of Time

Planning your workday ahead of time and creating a comprehensive checklist to follow can help you see exactly what you accomplish each day. Even if you aren’t able to finish everything on the list, seeing checked-off boxes will help you see that you didn’t “accomplish nothing” during the day.

This idea also helps ensure you don’t forget any important tasks you need to get done each day. You can prioritize each thing by order of importance and work your way down the list. After all, accomplishing one major task is going to feel far more rewarding than a group of smaller tasks.

For example, if you’re on a deadline and you need to submit a major project proposal or article to your boss by the end of the day, that needs to be done first. Accomplishing that time-sensitive task is going to feel more rewarding than if you decided to clean your office or reply to secondary emails instead.

2. Don’t Overextend Yourself

This tip may seem counterproductive, but hear me out. Have you ever felt completely burnt out during the workday? Compare how you felt during that time to a day where you were completely determined and motivated to get work done. Which of those two days did you accomplish more?

I’m going to take a wild guess and say it was when you felt motivated. If you refrain from completely filling your work docket, you’re going to be far less likely to burn yourself out. Allow time to complete each task to avoid a rush job and space out your assignments as best you can. This way, you can accomplish everything you need to in a tighter timeframe.

3. Follow Your Internal Body-Clock

Are you a day or night person? Maybe you prefer afternoons instead? Regardless of your preferred time of day, you should plan to get the most work done during that time. Generally, these preferred times are when we’re the most alert, therefore, they’re the best time to get the most work completed.
