D.I.Y. employee engagement, part 3
posted on October 26, 2009
Here are the final 5 Do-It-Yourself employee engagement tips...for this week. Hope you've checked the
first 10 in Tuesday and Wednesday's postings.
Keep your career eyes open. Engagement goes beyond just your daily work. The more you focus on your career and what's in store, the more you will engage in the now and the later. Read, check out networking opportunities, interview people who are where you might like to be.
Make good suggestions. A sure sign of your engagement is your attention to how processes, functions, procedures might be improved. Improvement might relate to time, energy, resources...whatever. Your making careful, thoughtful suggestions serves you (and your engagement) well. And don't be bummed if your suggestions are not accepted. Quantity often comes before quality.
Learn something. Make a commitment to learning something new, something helpful everyday. Not only will what you learn pay off, but your effort to find that learning and your active involvement in learning demonstrate engagement on a specific level also.
Keep a notebook. Everyone has more ideas, instant thoughts, passing fancies that are often not remembered. Carry a notebook. Writing down those ideas -- and reviewing them later, thinking how they might be applied -- is engagement.
Score your engagement. Create a scale (1-5 or 1-100; it doesn't matter). Regularly rate your engagement. Rate it on how much and how well. Rate it on how you felt and what you achieved. Rate it on whatever you wish. By scoring yourself you most likely create a self-motivation to raise that score. Engagement? Engagement!
