Dear employer, how many of your employees are fully engaged at work? Are they working just to get the job done or are they working from a position of shared committment to the vision? It's okay if you can't answer this now but you need to get them talking...
They need to talk. The atmosphere should encourage them to speak up. It's most dangerous when your employees stop talking to you and start agreeing to everything you say. Don't assume that you're a great leader or dictator because they assent to everything you say.....
Silence doesn't always mean consent or agreement. Some employers are so wonderful that their employees are happy to watch the business fail so they can move on to the next ship. It's not the best for employees to keep changing employers but truth is the employer feels the pain...
Long after the employees come and go. It is your business or company, it is your responsibility to find the right talent, help them align with the vision, make them involved in decision making process, hear their perspectives on different issues, be genuinely interested in them..
Today, employees are not accepting slave treatment anymore. Even when they don't have options elsewhere, they get up and leave. Companies are poaching everywhere so treat your employees like partners before the next person gets to them and treats them better....
It's not just financially. There are so many other ways you can get employees engaged and involved at work. Looking for more on this, @waveacademies is here to help. #dotherightthing
