We often hear the terms "engagement" and "employee satisfaction" interchangeably. Even though you are a great leader and truly care about your staff, it is often difficult to get them motivated and engaged in what they are doing. Here are some secrets to successful employee engagement:
- Eat lunch with your staff with an "anything goes" conversation.
- Plan an outing away from the facility.
- When they bring concerns, work related or personal, listen to them and make great eye contact. Always keep those personal conversations confidential.
