As the job market rapidly grows employee engagement and retention have become more and more vital for any company with CEOs and Human Resources Managers trying to do their best to create a “great place to work”. Employees are offered to use numerous benefits including free food, medical insurance, educational bonuses not to speak about salary rise.

So, what employee engagement methods are used by companies? What actions they contribute to improving personnel’s loyalty and commitment? We prepared five tips that can help boost up employee engagement.

1. Conduct polls and surveys among employees regularly

It will help you spot potential issues early. The feedback you get will help you uncover and address concerns proactively, improving satisfaction and productivity and keeping the employees you would hate to lose. After a while, make identical survey to find out whether personnel’s opinion regarding the disturbing issue has changed or not.

2. Measure employees’ happiness

3. Organize corporate events

Nobody wants to go to work where there’s no place for fun. Absence of play environment does not allow personnel to feel comfortable. If workers are not comfortable at their work, they won’t become engaged and go above and beyond at work. Which is more, if you expect from employees to be creative and think out of the box you should realize that corporate activities help stimulate to mix things up.

4. Build good coworker relationships

Relationships between co-workers directly connected to work effectiveness, recent studies show. Positive relationships help teams to be more productive, which affects the company’s success. Interact with personnel more often, track how team members feel about each other and encourage them to leave feedbacks on their colleagues and analyze these resumes, so you can manage workforce relations.

5. Establish effective communication between management and employees

Provide coworkers with the possibility to reach the company’s management departments quickly so they can leave requests about their current needs and feedbacks on administration body’s work. This information will help to analyze management’s work and to correct it if necessary.

The "secret" to building employee engagement is that there is no secret. Want to know what types of things will help your employees feel more engaged? Ask them. You might be surprised by how simple the solution may be. Often, it comes down to the Golden Rule: Treat people as you’d want to be treated.
