Engagement Drivers

Employee engagement drivers differ

from one company to another, from
industry to industry or from country
to
country.
However,
they
are
fuelled by similar subjective triggers

that make an employee want to stay
with his company, advocate it or

give it his/her discretionary effort.

As defined in the 2013 Employee
Engagement
Trends
Report
by
Quantum Workplace, these three

behaviors are known as engagement
anchors.
The
triggers
to
these
behaviors are engagement drivers.

Unlike anchors, engagement drivers
are actionable and can be used to
improve workplace happiness. There
are many engagement drivers and
some might weigh more than other,
but lets talk about the main three.
1.
Management/Leadership
Companies with a highly involved
leadership body have the most
engaged workforce. To back that up,
Deloittes research shows that more
than six in 10 employees (62%) who
plan to stay with their current
employees reported high levels of
trust in their corporate leadership,
while only 27% of employees who
plan to leave express that same
trust. Moreover, 26% of those who
plan to leave their jobs in the next
year cited lack of trust in leadership
as key factor.

The most engaged organizations
ranked feeling valued, trust in senior
leaders and retention the most
favorably Quantum Workplace.
Because management has such an
essential role in employee retention,
it should be leveraged in HR
strategies to attract and retain
talent.
If a company publicly states that its
no. 1 priority is talent or people, it
should own up to it. Employees are
engaged when they feel valued.
When their efforts are recognized
and when they are encouraged to
thrive.
Transparency and communication
are the basis of building their trust
in leadership and gaining their
engagement.
An analysis performed by Dale
Carnegie to determine the link
between supervisor and organization
evoked feelings revealed that its the
immediate supervisor who is the
chief
emotional
driver
in
the

workplace; reactions to him or her

explain 84% of how employees feel
about their organization.
Tips to increase employee

engagement
Have a clear internal
communication strategy
Execute that strategy, dont
just leave it at a planning stage
Promote transparency
Communicate future plans and
strategy
Encourage employees to talk
openly and engage in giving
and receiving feedback
Listen to them
Recognize their efforts
2. Meaningful work

The forth report in Deloittes Talent

2020series, surveyed 560 employees
across virtually every major industry
and global region. One of the three
main emerging challenges that they
identified: meaningful work.
Engage employees with meaningful
workor watch them walk out the
door. Source
According to this report, 42% of
respondents who have been seeking
new employment believe their job
does not make good use of their
skills and abilities. Furthermore,
surveyed
employees
who
are
planning to switch companies cited

the lack of career progress (37
percent) and challenge in their jobs
(27 percent) as the two top factors
influencing their career decisions.
Its impossible to be engaged at
work if you feel like the work youre
doing is not engaging. Situations
like these create strong feelings of
unhappiness,
inadequacy
and
frustration.

3. Professional growth

Development
opportunities
are
crucial to employee engagement.

Theyre even more important than
financial compensations.
Engaged employees would rather

receive training opportunities than a

spontaneous cash bonus Quantum
Workplace.
In a recent survey, Deloitte asked
employees to choose the three most
significant factors that would cause
them to seek new employment.
Responses gathered around five
issuesonly one of which is related
to money. Lack of career progress
was the most important factor, at
27%, followed by new opportunities
in the market and dissatisfaction
with the manager or supervisor,
each at 22%, as pointed out in the
figure bellow.

When employees feel like theyre
stagnating they start looking for
another job. Thats the reality. Their
engagement and their loyalty is
dependent
on
the
advancement
opportunities in your company. If

you want to retain them, you need
to
provide
them
with
growth
prospects.

engagement

development opportunities

challenge themselves

own development goals and
help them to achieve those
goals
Work in dynamic teams

for knowledge management
and career development
Conclusion
There are more engagement drivers
that you can build on to ensure
workplace
happiness
and
productivity, but these three are

essential.
Find out what drives employee
happiness
and
employee
engagement in your company and

come up with a sustainable strategy
to attract and retain your talent.
