Engagement should be treated as newborns! Everyone takes place in the growing process and they should never be left unattended.
For great managers, the path toward engaging employees and keeping them engaged begins with asking them what they want and what is important in order to be effective in their roles.
Involve employees in decisions that will affect them - they may have some great ideas that you haven't thought of and will be more supportive of the final outcome.
Close the computer and expose your heart. Shut your mouth and open your ears. You create engagement when you become engaged.
Foster a culture of trust through honest communications and demonstrating a sincere interest in helping your employee grow professionally.
That's great, Ravi.
Please let us know how you go.
Reach out and engage your employees everyday... learn their names and know their stories.
As a manager, your job is to develop others because, if you grow your people, they will grow your business.
Develop your employees for their career and for the future of the organization; have trust in them and make them trust you is well.
Your motivation is not their motivation - understand what motivates your employees and harness that information to bring out the best in them
Don't give someone responsibility for something, unless you are also going to give them the power to affect it.
Maggie,

I have written blogs for years but this is a new endeavor for me too. I think there is such a fine collection of people from such a rich range of diversity that we will learn from each other and even learn from what we say to each other.
Thanks for your input to my forum post. I noticed in your bio that you graduated from UVM. Were you from Vermont? My wife was born and raised in VT so I had to ask. Thanks again for all of your advice.
Mike
What an important organization to foster employee engagement for. Youth work and people who work with youth are nothing less than our future. All the best with this and I hope you get ideas, perspectives, and approaches to foster engagement.
