2022 - Enhancing Employee Engagement to Drive Organizational Performance

Overview
What is Employee Engagement?
Employee engagement is an emotional state and a behavioral reaction to an employee's relationship with his/her manager and perception of the organization. Engagement involves an employee's degree of focus, motivation, and passion for his/her job.
Why is Employee Engagement Important?
Engaged employees are motivated toward the organization's success, take pride in their work, suggest improvements, pursue self-development, boost organizational performance, expend discretionary effort, say good things about their organization, and plan to stay.
What is the Business Case?
Most organizations have significant opportunities for improvement. Across the U.S. only 31% of employees are engaged. There have been over 100 research studies proving the improvements in organizational performance resulting from engaged employees.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Organizations have a huge opportunity to benefit from a more engaged workforce because only approximately 30% of employees are engaged:
With approximately 50% unengaged - going through the motions; not performing to their capabilities
And the balance of 20% are disengaged - unhappy at work and their mission is to make sure their co-workers are also unhappy
Employees' Engagement needs are logical - such as:
Being told what's expected of them
Having the materials and equipment they need
Receiving periodic recognition and praise
Feeling their supervisor cares about them
Any supervisor who's willing can improve his/her team's level of engagement because there are employee engagement strategies that prove to be effective
Disney for example:
Trains its supervisors in the Engagement Coaching practices and behaviors expected of them
Gauges their supervisors' performance through Employee Engagement Surveys
Holds their supervisors accountable using coaching, goals, appraisals, merits, bonuses, and promotions
Supervisors are the key to engaging employees. The two factors that have the greatest impact on an employee's degree of engagement are:
the employee's relationships with his/her immediate supervisor
whether his/her supervisor is meeting the employee's few engagement needs
And your supervisors have multiple daily Engagement Coaching opportunities to:
strengthen the relationship
listen, learn and coach
enhance the employee's engagement and performance
