Diversity and Inclusion Best Practices for Employee Engagement: Pay Equity and Transparency

Post author By mgauthier
Post date August 11, 2022

It should come as no surprise that people want transparency and pay equity, and as an ethical business owner, you should want to provide that. When it comes to diversity and inclusion practices, pay equity is at the top of the list.

Pay equity affects an organization’s reputation, and you can’t expect your employees to be engaged in their work when they don’t feel fairly acknowledged for their work. So where do you start?

– Gather information to identify pay gaps

– Identify potential areas of risk for pay gaps

– Evaluate opportunities for equity as it pertains to race, gender, or LGBTQ+ status

Compensation affects your employees every day and it can affect their personal life if they’re unable to make ends meet. If someone is under the impression that someone who completes an equal amount of work to them gets more compensation, you can’t reasonably expect them to be equally as engaged. If you aren’t implementing practices to gather insights on this yet, now’s the time to ask yourself what you can do.

Questions for leaders:

What measures do you take to ensure transparency and pay equity?

Do you think you could do more?

Does this present a notable challenge to leaders?

Diversity and Inclusion Best Practices for Employee Engagement: Reduce Recruitment Bias

Post author By mgauthier
Post date August 10, 2022

Diversity and inclusion are imperative for employee engagement. There’s no such thing as a healthy workplace that doesn’t place value on diversity and create a culture of inclusion. It’s natural to gravitate towards people and energy that seem familiar, but it is imperative that your recruiting team is trained against unconscious bias.

These days, there are all types of programs that HR departments can use for recruitment processes. You can do things like filter candidates strictly by their skills and experience, so you know that each candidate is being evaluated solely on their ability to do the job.

Questions for leaders:

What programs do you use for recruiting?

Are you screening candidates based on skills before they come in for an interview?

What are you doing to ensure an inclusive recruitment process that avoids any bias?

Diversity and Inclusion Best Practices for Employee Engagement: Improving Visibility

Post author By mgauthier
Post date August 9, 2022

The engagement culture you create in the workplace trickles down to the experience you give to your customers, and ensuring diversity and inclusion is more important than ever. While it might seem easy enough to talk about diversity and inclusion, it’s an entirely different thing to take actionable steps toward creating an ideal work environment.

The first thing to consider is visibility—identifying the diversity of your workforce in order to better understand where your efforts should start.

When you take advantage of diversity metrics, you’re in a much better position to implement new initiatives to promote a culture of inclusion.

Questions for leaders:

Are you currently taking actionable steps towards improved diversity practices in the workplace?

Do you have anything in place to gather important metrics of your workforce? If not, what is your plan?

Is Taking a Vacation Stressful for Your Employees?

Post author By mgauthier
Post date July 28, 2022

Part of managing a team involves keeping track of everyone’s well-being. You cant expect exceptional results in your business if your team is feeling overworked or unable to recharge.

Taking time for yourself is important, and you need to make sure your team knows you support their right to take time off.

Sometimes, employees get nervous about taking a vacation because they don’t want to appear lazy or disengaged. This can often lead to distractions and in turn, lower productivity.

If you want to increase employee engagement and give a great impression:

· Check in with your employees on a monthly or quarterly basis.

· Make it clear that vacation time doesn’t need to be explained.

· Offer to come up with a plan for coverage while they’re away.

Questions for leaders

1. Do you think your current vacation policies need to be adjusted?

2. How do you ensure your staff is taking the time they are entitled to?

Activities to Increase Positive Thinking in the Workplace

Post author By mgauthier
Post date July 4, 2022

You might be aware that positive thinking leads to a more efficient workplace but putting it into practice is easier said than done.

Here are some ideas for activities to keep in mind if you want to encourage your employees to adopt a more positive mindset.

– Gratitude exercises: this could be part of your morning meetings or just something that gets sent out in an email. Give employees the chance to be present for a moment and reflect on things they might forget they are grateful for.

– Anonymous tip jar: let employees vent about ways to improve upon current workplace culture.

– Special events: Team-building events are great for enforcing a positive dynamic.

At the end of the day, mindset is everything and it affects our daily life and work. As a leader, it’s crucial that you take these ideas into consideration for your own workplace.

Humanizing the Workplace to Encourage Employee Engagement

Post author By mgauthier
Post date June 29, 2022

At the end of the day, we’re all human, and life would be easier if people remember that more often. Employees are much more likely to be engaged in a workplace that makes them feel safe and seen.

With so many things going on all over the world, it can be hard to keep up. You can’t always be around for everything though, so it’s helpful to put some measures into place to make sure you create a safe space for your employees:

Create a forum for employees to submit anonymous comments and concerns.
Show support for the movements that affect your employees, even if it’s just in a conversation.
Hold regular meetings where employees can come to discuss common concerns and experiences.

As a manager or owner, you want to be sure your employees are coming to work and feel comfortable carrying out their duties.

How to Create a Positive Work Culture to Encourage Engagement

Post author By mgauthier
Post date June 28, 2022

As a leader, it’s your responsibility to create a dynamic that benefits the workplace.

Here are a few ways to create a positive work culture:

– Daily check-ins: In the mornings, make sure everyone feels confident going into their work day and any snags are taken care of. At the end of the workday, follow up with anyone who didn’t seem engaged to find out how you can help them prepare for the next day.

– Reward systems: Show employees that positive attitudes are rewarded—this can be in the form of time off, free lunch, or whatever suits your organization best.

– Space to recharge: Make it clear to your employees that you care about them getting enough time to recharge between tasks.

When you foster a positive work environment, your employees will carry that energy into their workday, which can lead to improved productivity and an overall improved workplace dynamic.
