Employee Engagement: Problem or Experience?
Ultimately to me, engagement is not a problem to be solved. It is an experience to be lived, a result to be achieved, a relationship to be built, and a work-based pathway to well-being. ~ David Zinger
Keep that in mind as you work today. If you want a little more about this read my Linkedin post: Employee Engagement: What’s Your Problem?
David Zinger is an employee engagement expert and global speaker. David will be giving the morning keynote on the pyramid of employee engagement in Istanbul, Turkey this November.
David, excellent and insightful comments.
Too much effort is spent trying to get all employees to become engaged in their jobs.
Employee engagement is what employers get in return for doing all things well.
Doing all things well is very hard work for most of us.
Start by hiring the right people.
Stop hiring the wrong people.
This is not hard to do.
Well said.
Team structure is important – having the right team skills set, collaborative working and employers backing teams through professional development / training is important. Too many companies structure teams by creating an inflexible hierarchical structure or teams operate in silos. This does not support collaborative working, which also undermines creativity, innovation and ideas sharing.
