tips + tricks
Do you want to spark... - Learning in your organization?
- host a team/department/company-wide learning day or week
- teach someone something — some say the best way to learn is to teach
- create a learning ritual — for example: post a new riddle each day
- Performance in your organization?
- Provide constant feedback — monthly coaching sessions instead of the semi-annual performance reviews
- Recognize and celebrate performance — it's especially important to recognize how someone achieves results, not just what results they achieve
- Build it into your culture, by including the words in your vision
- Interest in your employer brand?
- Ask your current employees what they think your employer brand is
- Consider a way to reach out to prospective employees that isn't just advertising
- Revitalize your new employee orientation program and make sure it is sending the same message as your brand
- Employee Engagement?
- Focus on the managers in your organization — surveys tell us that most employees leave managers not necessarily jobs
- Find out what engages your employees — if you conduct a survey, examine the results, look at the data in different ways, find trends. If you identify something that looks like it needs to be addressed, dig deeper with a focus group, rather than just coming up with a program that you think will solve the problem
- Create an employee advisory group, who can advise you on the general level of engagement in your organization
