Employee Engagement - Nurture or Abandon?

Employee engagement – Now is the time to nurture not abandon
So you might have heard of this excellent employee engagement initiative practiced in a leading US firm. Let me illustrate it for all readers - 2 chairs are kept on the lawn, one chair occupied by an employee representative and another hung with a message board. Different employee topics for different days. Employees participated and shared their thoughts and concerns on issues ranging from management to work to co-workers.

Brilliant idea, isn’t it?

Those 2 lawn chairs measured the pulse of employee thoughts and fears. It helped employees to open up and speak out.

During recession or otherwise, I think an organization can do a world of good for itself and employees if it can engage employees through work and recognition. Engaged employees will do things in a better way and do better things more efficiently. What else can empower a business during a slowdown. Job cuts won’t do. It can only raise the mercury on insecurity. Probably now is the time to go face-to-face and do honest communication with your employees.
