In May, our Employee Engagement Briefings highlighted 50 employee engagement-related articles. Here is a recap of the Spotlight Articles of May 2018.
Global Employee Engagement Trends Point Toward Investing in the Employee Experience
HR Technologist: “Aon’s 2018 Trends in Global Employee Engagement Report finds that engagement levels amongst employees matched all-time highs in 2017. However, 73 percent of employees are still not considered “highly engaged.” Ken Oehler, Aon’s Global Culture & Engagement Practice Leader explores the factors that impact employee engagement as well as how employers can strategically invest in the employee experience.”
What Managers Can Do To Connect With Their Employees
OfficeVibe: “As a manager, you act as a mentor, coach, and leader to your team. But that doesn’t mean there should be a level of separation between you and your employees. Quite the opposite—you should be connecting with employees and your team should feel like you’re one of them.” “This post will focus on helping you understand Self-Regulation and how it affects your relationships with employees—and give you some tips on improving both.”
Why Great Employees Leave “Great Cultures”
Harvard Business Review: “How, then, do we repair a flagging culture? A place to start is by reviewing the behaviors, systems, and practices in place in your company.”
Leveraging Your Nonverbal Communication At Work
OfficeVibe: “First things first: Did you know that we are always communicating, even when we’re not using or words? This wordless language is called nonverbal communication, and it accounts for a heaping 60-75% of our communication. Meaning, it’s not the carefully selected words you chose to use, but the nonverbal cues you give off that matter most.
Nonverbal communication, what many call the second conversation, majorly influences how we’re perceived, respected and trusted. The tricky part is that we’re not always aware of the nonverbal cues we’re giving off. Not to worry – we’re going to help you get a good handle on it by improving your Self-Awareness as a leader and communicator.”
Eight Steps Fortune 500 HR Leaders Must Take To Embrace The Employee Experience
Forbes: “Though 2018 has been dubbed “The Year of the Employee Experience (EX),” many Fortune 500 HR leaders are still playing catch-up in understanding and embracing that EX is just as important — if not more so — to their bottom line than customer experience (CX).”
