INCREASE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT FOR FREE

Entrepreneurs and small business owners face the challenge of juggling business operations with managing their workforce. They must keep an eye on employee engagement because they need highly engaged employees to build their businesses. Gallup’s “State of the Global Workplace” report shows employee engagement is declining, making it very important to pay attention to engagement even if there are no funds for it. Read on to see how to increase employee engagement for free.

Employee Engagement
Make Recognition a Priority 
There’s no cost for saying thank you for a job well done or for staying late to finish an important project but recognition is priceless. It creates employee engagement by showing employees that you notice and appreciate their contributions. It’s free to say thanks and encourage employees by recognizing their efforts and employers should do it every day. The free mobile app iappreciate keeps recognition reminders and ideas as close as your smart phone, enabling managers to invite people to recognize others, nominate people for awards, and easily create printable certificates.

 A Seat at the Table
Make employees feel valued and respected by inviting them to management meetings and asking them to participate. Create committees for employees to work on business issues. Give employees opportunities to meet big customers and gain new skills. The more opportunities employees have to participate in real and meaningful business projects, the more they’ll feel valued and invested in their work.

Ask Them to Innovate
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos asks for innovation and so should you. It costs you nothing to ask candidates and employees how they’ve innovated in their work and personal lives and how they could innovate in their positions with your company. Ask for alternatives when problems occur and encourage managers to come up with ideas when faced with challenges and obstacles. Focusing employees on creativity and innovation creates long lasting engagement.
