Want to improve employee engagement? Here's a thought: Imagine you're a coach. Your job isn't just to make your team win. Your job is to also keep them motivated. Here are 3 tips to do just that: 1️⃣ Show them the end zone When people don't have a clear goal, they get disengaged. Set and communicate clear targets. 2️⃣ Praise and high-fives Celebrate progress and hard work. Make people feel seen and valued. 3️⃣ Lead from the front Good coaches don't sit on the sidelines. They lead by example. Roll up your sleeves, join the team, and show them how it's done. Think about what you can do to keep your team motivated. Little things add up to big results. #YouMatter #PeopleMatter #PeopleAndCulture #Leadership #EmployeeEngagement

Can we just all agree to eradicate the phrase "Soft Skills" from our vocabulary. If they were soft all managers could and would do them. And if they did, we would have a MUCH higher employee engagement rate, better productivity, performance and well-being within our workforces. I am going to adopt the term 'Human Skills' because that's what they are; learning to motivate, inspire and support the humans on your team. And they are the hardest skills of all.

We can do ANYTHING, but we can't do EVERYTHING. As people leaders, there are typically three benchmarks we're trying to improve through our programs: ↳Maximize Employee Performance ↳Increase Employee Engagement ↳Decrease Regrettable Turnover The one question I see most leaders skip is: ❇️ Which of these benchmarks is the biggest priority the next 6-12 mos? ❇️ When everything is a priority, nothing is a priority. I've found that setting the right expectations is far more important than any program or training itself. Answering the above question can help you connect your People Programs to clear outcomes for your Executive Team. Use this frame to assess your ideas and approach before investing in random programs on a whim. Comments below... What else is missing from this list? Night Night 💤 #HR #HotTake #Leadership

To improve employee engagement, become a leader rather than a boss: ➡️Be authentic and show your vulnerability to earn your team’s trust rather than thinking you have to act emotionless to successfully lead. ➡️Prioritise employee well-being and give your team flexibility rather than creating constant pressure with micromanagement. ➡️Avoid “one size fits all” leadership and respect individuality, along with personally investing time into guiding everybody’s long-term growth and career development. ➡️Celebrate your team’s shared victories rather than creating a culture of competition and individual glory. #EmployeeEngagement #Leadership

Every leader should have this quality. This mindset fosters a culture of generosity, and collaboration, which can lead to greater employee engagement, innovation, and overall organizational success. Comment ‘YES’ if you agree. #Leadership #Entrepreneurship

Whether it's finding new talent, employee engagement, or just having influence as a leader...there is value in attraction, rather than promotion. Instead of TELLING others what you stand for and what's in it for them, let them see it and want to lean in for more!
