How to create high engagement at work
To create a work culture of high engagement, you should:
1. Create engagement purposefully
Intrinsic rewards are abstract, and that can pose challenges when communicating them to the people who are supposed to develop programs that appeal to intrinsic motivations. For example, simply talking with a company’s HR department and asking them to develop an intrinsic rewards program may not be the right solution because of the complex nature of intrinsic rewards.
A better solution is to ensure that intrinsic motivators are a part of the company’s culture and values. That may take new training initiatives, manager or corporate retreats, motivational speeches, deploying new management styles and more. Consider what motivators are important to your employees and how to purposefully make them an engaging part of the corporate culture.
2. Focus on your mid-range engages
Once you’ve established a company culture where intrinsic rewards are prioritized, HR can develop a measurable program that employees are likely to understand. A good group to focus on is the mid-range engages. For one, there tends to be more of them than outlying categories, so you have the opportunity to move a larger group toward intrinsic rewards. Second, they represent a group that’s already somewhat engaged, so they may be more receptive to intrinsic rewards than lower engagement groups.
3. Think about change management
Make an entire culture shift and implementing new intrinsic reward programs at the same time is a lot of change for any organization. Look to large organizations that have made similar cultural shifts to understand the best change management practices for your company.
