04 December 2013, Singapore: Recently, my organization conducted a world-wide employee engagement survey and we found out that one of my sister company results was super high. They scored more that 85%. When I interviewed their leadership team and visited their organization, my key take-away were: -
- Engagement is a Shared Responsibility among the management team and the shop-floor supervisors;
- Making engagement fun, less format and think out the box .... stop viewing engagement from a 'Standard Work' perspective and stop setting criteria for every engagement activities. Just enjoy it.
- Deploying well-being program to enhance their employee engagement program.
Gallup (source: Well Being: The Five Essential Elements by Tom Rath & Jim Harter) cited that there are five essential area of 'well-being' an organization can focus: -
- Career Well-being
- Social Well-being
- Financial Well-being
- Physical Well-being
- Community Well-being
I guess with this article - people will understand why I advocated on 'well-being' to enhance employee engagement program.
-The End-
