- Jessica We hear this term engagement thrown around everywhere. Workers are ‘disengaged’, how do we ‘engage’ more people, X% of employees are ‘actively disengaged” … But what does that term really mean, what what’s the impact on your business?
- Jessica What does engagement really mean? Speak to evolution of it… There’s the dictionary definition – as you can see… but where it becomes much more nuanced is how that involvement and commitment, both emotionally (rationally and irrationally) tie a worker to their work environment, their productivity, and why they chose to stay or go. In 1993, Schmidt et al helped frame “Employee engagement” as < > … And as you can see, (go to next slide)
- Jessica As shown here: Highly engaged workers are visibly better at innovation, producing quality work, customer sat, and efficiencies in an organization. Those in turn improve revenue growth by almost 20%. which is huge. Needless to say, it’s worth it to figure out how to best engage your workers and move them up from passive or moderately engaged to Highly Engaged.
- Mykkah We’re going to talk with you about engagement through this lens… Engagement isn’t just any one thing. It is complicated, it is multidimensional. There are drivers to engagement which positively or negatively affect how an employee is at work… Those drivers we’ve broken down as: Comm, appre, dev, relationship w/ mgr, confidence in the employer, and pay (or transparency around pay). And what they ultimately drive are : their overall satisfaction with their work and job, how well they perform, and whether they are looking to leave. Those outcomes, if negative, are costly to your organization. Over the next slides, we’ll walk through each of the drivers and explain how it can be improved within a company. Then we’ll talk about how to measure your success in affecting those outcomes you care so much about…

- Jessica Identify career paths within your organization Identify high potential high performers – and do a gap analysis to determine what (leadership) skills they need to gain to move up in the organization Provide training opportunities (internal and external) that are engaging, relevant, and possible. Support employees to take advantage of them. Opportunities can range from Lunch and learns where people learn from each other to formal tuition reimbursement programs For Further Information: Potential internal resource opportunity around Levels, job families, career pathing External resources around potential/performance External resources around succession planning (Jen doing research by 4/1 – succession planning, and more) External resources around training program development C AN WE GET SANKET to look into that more

Understand the savviness of your employees to “get” the philosophy and strategy Level of transparency for your organization – webinar in June Train managers and executives to share information consistently and with the consistent levels of transparency
- Jessica Just talked through all the drivers. The outcomes are what we’re hoping to see… desired action….
- Identify your flight risks – high performers paid low to market. Decide to work to retain key employees; then identify ways to reengage them Decide to let some go (this is not always bad!) Focus attention on how to fill their gap with other employees (cross-training, development, etc.) or externally Identify low performers If you decide they have high potential, consider a PIP If they do not have potential, let them go and thank them for their service For people determined to leave, support and encourage knowledge transfer before they are totally checked-out
