Employee engagement is tied to all sorts of organizational health indicators. Productivity, retention, creativity, and collaboration—they’re all intrinsically tied to how engaged people feel. That said, achieving high levels of workforce engagement is easier said than done, particularly at a small business. Start by making your people feel valued, whether that’s acknowledging a job well done, offering career advice, or being attentive to employee needs. If you want engaged workers, they need to know their worth. By pointing out when they did a great job or identifying room for improvement, your employees will know that they aren’t being overlooked and that their development is important to your organization. Finally, look for opportunities to provide perks. Incentive packages and reward programs are a great way to drive engagement and motivate employees to put in effort and do their best work.
