Forum #6: Employee Engagement Advice in One Sentence

[David Zinger]

In one sentence only, write the best employee engagement advice you would give to an organization.

[Mario Alberto Ortiz Martínez]

Clarify the goal and let them play. Open communications channel to envision what is reached and allow them to feel responsible for that. They would appreciate the value of their contribution to a greater objective.

[John Nicholls]

Encourage senior managers to smile and acknowledge all staff as they pass them in the workplace!

[Delphine Bondran]

Consider your (employer) engagement before ask employees to be engaged

[Vijay Kumar Shrotryia]

Give them a Ear, they will give their heart

Connect, Communicate and Create.......

[Deri Latimer]

I just delivered a team building session with a university faculty. We did an exercise on the difference between and 'group' and a 'team'. Then, we shared how you can 'C' the difference in a team...teams CARE, COMMUNICATE, CONNECT, CREATE, COMMIT and CELEBRATE! Teams are ... engaged (and groups are casually dating!)

[Jitka Holt]

Deri, I think that one-sentence summary is a gem. Could I quote you (alternately, who can I quote) in a talk on engagement?

Jitka

[Deri Latimer]

Hi Jitka! You certainly can quote me! Best wishes with your talk (is it a conference at which you are speaking?)

[Ryan Williams]

Walk with employees and focus on serving others – engagement will happen.

[Keerthi Kalyan]

just one sentence-"even if you cant follow everything your employees say, atleast listen to them"
