Interventions
Evidence based - that's the key to success. You need to develop interventions that tackle the things that really matter to your people. Things like empowerment, autonomy, feeling valued, understanding the business.
Your driver analysis will identify where your organisation needs to respond in order to maximize engagement.
By now you'll probably know how we feel about flashy, gung-ho events where writing on the table or sticking things on the wall is passed off as the solution to improving engagement. Pah! You'll also know that we believe no one except you own people can tell you how to improve engagement.
You cannot be accountable for improving engagement if you don’t know where to focus the effort. How can anyone tell you where to focus your resource without using evidence from your own people? How would you know your hard work had been effective unless you know what it is that should change and you have a way of measuring it?
What matters is that you identify and tackle the things that are positively driving engagement in the teams inside your organisation.
How can you be accountable for improving engagement if you don't know where to focus the effort. How can you track the effectiveness of your interventions?
The factors that cause engagement within organisations are varied, some acting across the organisation, some within the team, and all being dependent on the the contribution of the individual.
