What is your strategy to maximize your employee’s engagement and retention levels? If you say you don’t have a strategy then what you are really saying is you have a strategy but it works to disengage your employees.
Remember your profitability and overall success of your company depends on how committed and engaged your team is. It doesn’t happen by accident but by design. Why not plan to build and maintain a strategy to maximize the engagement levels of your team.
Here is a simple formula I have created to help you to make this happen in your organization.
I call it the START Formula for Employee Engagement™
S – stop what you are doing and sit down with your employees one at a time and have a discussion with them.
T – talk about what is important to them. Ask them about their family, their goals for the year.
A – ask them what skills and tools they need to take their work performance to the next level.
R – repeat back to them what you hear them saying. Look for ways you can support them in their quest for these skills and tools
T– take the time to periodically have a conversation about the progress they are making with their goals and how you and your organization are able to reinforce their efforts
