How Emotions Fuel Employee Engagement

We all know how emotions can change the course of our day and impact our interactions and experiences at work. However, have you ever thought about using emotion to fuel employee engagement? 

How to Implement Emotional Engagement 

While there are several ways to achieve emotional engagement, here are the basics of emotional engagement:

  1. Lead with empathy

Employees notice when their supervisors are invested in their needs and care about their expectations. Taking the time to sympathize and understand where your employees are coming from leads to better engagement and loyalty.

2. Create a connection

The stronger a bond is between a manager and employee, the more likely an employee is to overperform and even stay longer within an organization. 

3. Communication is key

Miscommunication is the root of most conflict, so whenever you’re in doubt—overcommunicate! When everyone is on the same page, you’re laying the foundation for positive emotions and a sense of direction. 

The bottom line is, when your employees are emotionally invested in their work, they automatically become more engaged!

How to Set Your Employee Up for Success

To put it simply, if your business is successful, you owe some of that to your employees! Investing in your employees is something that should always be a priority. As the backbone of your organization, your employees do better when they are: 

  •     Trained thoroughly for their position
  •     Given a direct report or supervisor 
  •     Given regular goals to meet
  •     Fully informed for the tasks given to them
  •     Recognized for their talents
  •     Celebrated for their achievements 

At the end of the day, managing your employees is all about making them feel seen. You want to be sure they know they are appreciated and that their effort each day makes a difference for the organization. The more you use do this, the more positive energy will flow.

Signs that your employees are becoming disengaged

Keeping your employees engaged is critical to your company’s success. Not only is it directly linked to productivity, but you’ll be able to cultivate a better work culture when your employees are engaged with their work. 

If you want to make sure you don’t end up with a disengaged team, look out for some of the following signs of disengagement: 

  •     Increased complaints or sarcastic/dry humor about disliking position. 
  •     Increased tardiness both in attendance and work performance. 
  •     Use of technology for non-work purposes.

Instead of criticizing the behavior, try to approach it from another perspective.

Tell the employee you notice they seem distracted, and you wanted to see if there was anything you could do to be supportive. You don’t need to pry, just let them know you support them and watch their demeanor change to one that wants to reciprocate that energy.

How to make employee engagement contagious

People tend to respond to others based on exchanged energy and the surrounding environment. If you want to create a workplace that fosters an engaging environment, you just need to keep a few things in mind. 

  •     Create teams made up of engaged and less engaged employees.
  •     Encourage engaged employees to address concerns with less engaged employees.
  •     Offer rewards for team members that show any form of improvement—the greater the improvement, the higher the reward.  

At the end of the day, you want to empower your engaged employees so their energy can be adopted by those who are less motivated and engaged. As long as you stay consistent with your efforts, you’re sure to see some improvement.

How Managers Can Support Employees’ Mental Health

According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, 20% of people in Canada will experience a mental health problem or illness in any given year. If you want to make sure your employees feel supported at work, here are some tips you can start implementing as soon as today!

  •     Conduct weekly check-ins—ask your employee what they need to go into their next week of work feeling prepared.   
  •     Create an anonymous forum where employees can submit questions and concerns without the worry of upsetting anyone.
  •     Be flexible about breaks—if someone prefers to take a few short breaks throughout the day instead of one long break in the middle, give your employee room to recuperate in their preferred way.

At the end of the day, it’s just about communication, open-mindedness, and listening to your employees.

How to Engage Employees Who Work From Home

It can be tough managing employees who work in different locations, much less those working from home. You never know what distractions your employees might be dealing with, so it’s important to take certain steps to keep your employee engagement as high as possible.

To keep your employees motivated from home you’ll want to:

  •    Require everyone to log in by a certain time for a morning huddle.
  •    Have check in’s that focus on helping the employee complete their work rather than condemning how they spend their time.
  •    Use productivity apps to keep everyone informed—even on the go.
  •    Create a reward system that suits your business. (ex: anyone who completes “x” number of tasks gets to log out early on Friday)

At the end of the day, engagement only works when both parties enjoy the interaction. Try to focus on building a positive, collaborative relationship with your employees rather than micromanaging them.

Top Mental Health Tips for Employee Engagement

With workplace dynamics shifting all over the globe, employees and managers alike might be experiencing different forms of mental health struggles. Regardless of the details, mental health directly affects workplace performance, so mitigating this is crucial for employee engagement. 

  •     Communicate with employees through their preferred channels to reduce workplace anxiety—If you know an employee prefers email over a phone call, chances are you’re going to get the task completed faster if you send an email.
  •    Make sure managers are conducting beginning and end of day breakdowns with their teams—try to help anyone falling and reduce the chances of burnout.
  •    Be open to constructive criticism—if an employee voices their opinion about something that could be improved, be willing to listen and adjust wherever suitable.  

When you focus on helping your employees feel their best, it translates into their work and ultimately helps everyone!

An Engaged Workforce as a Self-Sustaining Business Model

When it comes to implementing business practices, it’s important that you begin with a strong foundation. A successful company is like a well-oiled machine, and you want to make sure you’re paying attention to every part that helps it function.

With an engaged workforce, you can expect: 

·       Individual work/project teams will be in better communication with one another and work more efficiently.

·       Employees will have more autonomy as individuals and feel more confident in carrying out their tasks.

·       The organization as a whole will operate more efficiently and grow into a stronger business.

When it comes to making improvements to things like employee engagement, there’s no need to hesitate. You should notice the positive effect almost immediately.

How to Engage Employees Who Work in a Hybrid Environment

You might think that managing employees who work from home is difficult. But sometimes it can feel even more chaotic when you have employees changing their working environments. When managed correctly, the hybrid work model can be amazing for productivity, and even reduce expenses. However, when managed poorly, a hybrid work environment can make everything feel more difficult. 

Things to consider for a hybrid work environment

  •    Make sure each employee can access everything equally from home and in person.
  •    Try to evaluate which tasks should be completed from home or not—if you have work that would be completed faster in the office, make sure employees know to do it in person.
  •    Use the same productivity apps you would use from home, in the office. 

When managed correctly, the hybrid work model is an invaluable asset. It might take time to evaluate and adjust what works best for you, but you won’t achieve maximum efficiency unless you start!
