A Step Towards Infusing Employee Engagement Into Performance Management

by Leave a Comment

I have been advocating for the infusion of the many silos of understanding work, from employee engagement and performance management to wellbeing and making progress. This week the US government advocated for putting employee engagement into performance management with the Plus. I think this is a step in the right direction when far too many of us have far too much to do and so little time to do it.  I have a concern with using the term plus as it makes it seem you are adding more but if it moves to infusion and synergy of work, I am all for it.

Below is a tweet connecting to the post I wrote about this on LinkedIn

Employee Engagement Through People Artistry

A People Artistry Tidbit

(Reading time: 50 seconds )

Peoplt Artistry at Work Book Cover

I had a wonderful conversation with the latest reader of People Artistry at Work. He just retired this year as the Assistant Superintendent of a very large school division. He believed the book was a fine leadership book and that it summed up his approach to successful leadership.

He stated, “it is amazing what we can accomplish and achieve together when we recognize and value people even if they initially lack skills.” Through our people artistry we empower, we build capacity and as leaders we never lose sight of the fact that we are only as good as the people we lead. We need to recognize all employees so they recognize their own strengths, gifts, challenges, and contributions.

Managers have a significant influence on engagement. When we improve the engagement of managers not only do we benefit by having more engaged managers we also improve the engagement of their direct reports. Don’t just manage employee engagement, ensure your managers are fully engaged.
