A leader’s words and actions can demonstrate appreciation, support and personal interest in their employees. Here are 6 things leaders can do.
- Leaders can show appreciation by saying thank you. Expressing how much they value and employees contributions acknowledging a job well done and their impact on the organization’s success.
- Leaders can support their employees by making sure they are able to take on new challenges, providing access to resources or training and asking their opinion on how processes can be improved.
- Leaders can develop strong working relationships and improve engagement by demonstrating a personal interest in employees.
- It’s important for leaders to ask about work interests for how an individual likes their current project.
- Don’t underestimate the power of a simple, “ How are you?” to show you care. When leaders demonstrate appreciation, show, support and connect personally on a daily basis. They can inspire greater employee engagement.
- Building a culture of engagement is less about big initiatives and more about the everyday interactions your leaders have with your workforce to learn more about the ways you can measure and improve employee engagement.
