When an organisation motivates its employees to emotionally invest in it, they will put their best efforts towards accomplishing its goals. In order to do this, you will need to engage your workforce to get their buy-in to support the goals that you are trying to accomplish.
It is important to engage your employees because of the following reasons:
Increase in profitability
Employees who are fully focused on their work will help your organisation’s bottom line. By engaging them, you can help them to realise that the organisation’s goals are in line with theirs. This will motivate them to put in more work effort, which might bring in more profits. It has also been proven that a committed group of employees will outperform disengaged staff handling a similar type of work.
Improved retention rates
By engaging your employees, you are reducing their likelihood of leaving in search of new opportunities. An increased retention rate will lead to lower turnover costs, which is beneficial to the organisation.
A boost in workplace happiness
Many employees leave their current jobs in search of recognition for their efforts and contributions. This can be achieved by giving your workforce timely feedback and praise for their efforts. Happy employees tend to display increased levels of productivity and improved morale.
Supports innovation
Committed employees will be more motivated to communicate their innovative ideas and apply new skills. This is because they will aim to improve their work quality rather than simply do the minimum required by their jobs.
Better communication
Engaging your employees regularly will make it easier for all involved to maintain open channels of communication. This will make accomplishing tasks and solving problems easier.
