In December, our Employee Engagement Briefings highlighted 40 employee engagement-related articles. Each week, one article is selected as the Spotlight Article. Here is a recap of the Spotlight Articles of December 2018.
Is Employee Engagement Just a Reflection of Personality?
Harvard Business Review: “So if you want an engaged workforce, perhaps your best bet is to hire people who have an “engagable” personality? The recent study we reviewed suggests that doing so will actually boost your engagement levels (as measured by surveys) more than any intervention designed to improve leadership, or to craft the perfect job for people. However, while this may look like an attractive position to take for managers, particularly if they wish to make engagement an employee problem, there are four important caveats to consider.”
Why manager-led recognition improves employee retention and engagement
Reward Gateway: “Managers need to have the tools and mindset to utilize recognition strategically to influence the culture and improve employee engagement. To truly improve employee retention in an organization, your people need to feel valued, connected to your purpose, mission and values, and feel like their work is being recognized.”
Four Ways To Help Your Employees Feel More Fulfilled (And Why You Need To)
Forbes: “A new PwC/CECP study shows that meaning and fulfillment at work is the new standard employees expect of their work experience, and one that companies need to embrace if they want to cultivate the best workforce, now and in the future. Some key findings from the study reveal just how much companies need to rethink how they can contribute to the employee experience becoming more meaningful if they want to remain competitive.”
2019 Trends: FIVE Major Trends in Hearing the Voice of Employees
LinkedIn Pulse: “2019 is almost here (can you believe it!), and after working with hundreds of companies to help them hear the voice of their employees in 2018, I wanted to share the main trends that have become prevalent.”
