If you want to work on employee well-being in the workplace, you might be overwhelmed with where to begin. Remember that what’s important is that you’re trying to take steps to support your staff, so don’t put too much pressure on where you start.

When you start thinking about your employee well-being plan, consider the following elements:

· Flexibility and structure in scheduling

· Better worker autonomy and opportunity to engage in problem-solving

· Maintain adequate staffing throughout the organization

· Ensure management is prepared to support employee needs

· Encourage a sense of belonging

The main purpose of employee wellbeing initiatives is to foster a better work environment and make it easier for employees to accomplish their tasks. So take some time to think about where your organization might benefit from the most attention.

How Assumptions Affect Employee Engagement

Post author By mgauthier
Post date September 8, 2022

In the 60s, Douglas McGregor introduced “Theory X” and “Theory Y” to depict the ways in which managers view workers and how they can contribute to or detract from employee performance. Take a moment to see which one you identify with more:

Theory X assumptions

– Employees are resistant to change.

– By nature, employees do not like to work.

– Average employees need formal direction and dislike responsibilities.

– Employees put job security above personal ambition.

Theory Y assumptions

– If a job is rewarding and satisfying, employees will become more committed.

– Employees can be self-motivated and driven to achieve organizational goals.

– Employees have unique skills and abilities that can be applied to organizational problems

If you find that your own beliefs are more aligned with Theory X assumptions, it might be time to rethink your engagement strategy. Theory X assumptions are widely accepted as negative and your employees are generally able to tell when you feel that way. The sooner you are able to adopt a more positive outlook, the sooner your employees will present their own.

Why You Need to Define Your Employee Engagement Strategy

Post author By mgauthier
Post date September 7, 2022

It’s all well and good to talk about employee engagement—anyone even remotely involved in a business understands how important it is. However, when do you stop talking and start acting on your insights? The simple answer is now—there’s no better time to test new productivity hacks and work processes.

Before you can start implementing anything though, you need to define your strategy. Consider some of the following so you can pinpoint what you should focus on:

– Where is productivity currently lacking?

– Is there a certain time of day or week that employees seem less engaged?

– Have you conducted any surveys to learn more about why employees might be less engaged?

At the end of the day, your ultimate goal is figuring out what works best for your organization, and what makes the most positive difference in your workflow.

Question for leaders

1. Does your organization currently have an employee engagement strategy in place?

Understanding the Difference Between Employee Engagement and Job Satisfaction

Post author By mgauthier
Post date September 6, 2022

It’s important to note that employee satisfaction is not the same thing as engagement. Some people might use these terms interchangeably when in reality, satisfaction deals more with a sense of content, and engagement is focused on going above and beyond in one’s position. Someone with job satisfaction is fine with where they are, whereas someone who is engaged feels a sense of urgency to meet and surpass expectations.

What true employee engagement looks like:

– Emotional connection to work

– Driven to advance company goals

– Passionate about the outcome of their efforts

– Happy to be there because of growth potential

What job satisfaction looks like:

– Focused on pay and benefits

– Priority is on job security

– Not driven by emotional commitment

– Happy to be there because it meets their basic requirements

Question for leaders

1. How do you measure the difference between employees that are engaged compared to those who are just satisfied?

Communicating the Value of Employee Engagement

Post author By mgauthier
Post date September 1, 2022

We all know how important employee engagement is for the success of any organization. But the question is do employees understand that? What’s even more important than that, what’s in it for them?

You can’t expect your employees to make their engagement a priority if they don’t see an exchange of value. In other words, you need to communicate how they benefit from becoming more engaged at work.

There are a few different ways you can do this:

– Offer milestone rewards for employee achievements

– Get involved with projects and show employees how valuable they are to your goals

– Make sure employees understand how important their role is to your organization

Managing Employee Attitudes and Engagement

Post author By mgauthier
Post date August 31, 2022

From the moment we wake up, our attitude starts to shape the experience of our entire day. Starting your day off on a negative note typically has a snowball effect, and only helps you find more things wrong as you continue with your responsibilities for the day. So how can we prevent this from taking over the workplace?

How to monitor employee attitudes in the workplace:

– Start the workday with a team meeting and try to gauge where everyone is at

– For anyone that seems unmotivated, touch base with them and see if there is a solution you might be able to provide—like access to tools or supplies.

– When you get a sense that someone is having a rough day, give them an opportunity to take a moment for themselves.

Being a leader means dealing with a lot of different emotions at the same time. You can never predict how employees will show up, but you can control how you support them.

Reengaging With Employees After the Summer Break

Post author By mgauthier
Post date August 30, 2022

As we find ourselves in the last stretch of the summer months, it’s important to take note of how to help employees return to the office and get in that productive mindset. If employees are regularly in and out of the office, it can cause everyone to be in more of a distracted headspace.

When you take the time to re-engage with your employees after summer vacation, you can expect:

– Lower risk of burnout

– Stronger company culture

– Improved work-life balance

Getting back into a routine is good for your mental health and your employees will feel more empowered when they feel like they’re back in control. Help them understand that and make sure to provide the resources to help them get there.

Registration is now open for our next Great Engagement: Engage and Mobilize Employees Training Program—starting October 12, 2022!

Informal vs Formal Power to Get Results and Build Relationships

Post author By mgauthier
Post date August 25, 2022

When it comes to managing an organization, there’s always going to be some kind of formal power structure. Those in charge are given control because of their job title, so employees have to listen in order to maintain their job and income.

However, informal power is highly underrated, and sometimes a more effective way to harness power in the workplace and get the results you need.

– Informal power stems from the relationships you build and the trust you share with coworkers.

– An example of informal power would be an employee going above and beyond for someone simply because they want to.

They aren’t carrying out a task because it’s part of their work, but instead out of a true desire to perform an action that will benefit someone they have built a relationship with. The stronger your informal power, the better chance you have at increasing engagement.

How Leadership Failures Contribute to a Lack of Employee Engagement

Post author By mgauthier
Post date August 23, 2022

When it comes to management, a lot of human behaviours are assumed rather than observed. This can lead management to have certain perceptions of their employees that aren’t helpful towards increasing engagement. Just because you’ve been in management for a long time doesn’t mean you automatically know how everyone operates.

Common leadership failures in the workplace:

– Ineffective conflict resolution

– Failure to take emotional wellbeing into account

– Not being the driving force behind change

– Focusing on current errors instead of developing talent

– Failure to provide consistent and constructive feedback

– Not being available to employees when they need you

– Failure to bond with employees

At the end of the day, we’re all human and mistakes happen. However, when you become aware of where you might fall short, it puts you in a much better position to self-correct and keep your team on track.

How Leadership Clarity Prevents Barriers to Employee Engagement

Post author By mgauthier
Post date August 22, 2022

When it comes to employee engagement, you might be thinking about ways to improve your staff’s processes. However, all great engagement strategies require a strong sense of direction, and that comes from the leader.

Before you start thinking about ideas to put into practice, think about where you’re at in terms of your goals and expectations.

– If resources were no object, what project would you look to complete first and why?

– What is your ideal timeline for your current projects?

– Do you feel like you your team needs to expand? Or do you think you could accomplish more with a better strategy?

Once you have a stronger sense of what results you need to see, you’ll be able to direct your team exactly where they need to go.

Question for leaders

Does your company offer any kind of events or activities that employees can engage in together?
