Engaging Employees - eight steps to become a people engager instead of a people manager

Engaging employees, rather than just managing them, is recognised by many business leaders as a crucial process to pull through the recession successfully. A UK Government report* also acknowledges the importance of employee engagement. So how do you get employee engagement right to help your organisation thrive in the upturn?

Will Mitchell, Director of Consulting of A&DC, says, “Engagement means focusing on employees’ strengths to achieve peak performance.  People who are engaged use their signature strengths within their roles to achieve heightened levels of performance.  This benefits the business as it achieves increased productivity, enhanced employee wellbeing, job satisfaction and very importantly, commitment.  It also benefits the individual as people are naturally motivated by tasks that interest them”.
