Are you surprised with the high attrition in your organization despite paying such good packages and must be wondering that why the competitors are not facing the same. It's because the scenario has completely changed and it’s no longer the good package that builds up a committed workforce. The employee longs for much more than the just the salary that he takes home. The concept that plays a very important role in today’s scenario is Employee Engagement.  So how will you build an engaged workforce at your organization. any ideas are welcome here...

Fair and appropriate reward, recognition and incentive systems it increase the trust of the employees in the management and thus adding to the motivation and the level of commitment towards the organization.

Employees need motivation and that comes with management attitude towards getting things done. Responsibilities given with time frame along with authority serve the purpose.

Conducive Work Environment

idea posted by S. Muralidharan Executive Director, Knowledge Foundation & Campus Around the Corner

To keep the flocks together, one needs to consider both "intrinsic" and "extrinsic" factors! Failure to balancing the two, would force "dis-engagement"!

Workforce Gap Analysis

idea posted by Shashikant Rajak Senior Consultant, Technozone consultancy ltd

Yes I agree with the ideas mentioned above, but analysing the gap in the workforce is also important. This involves analyzing the data and identifying gaps between workforce supply and demand, and identifying how the external environment will impact meeting your future workforce demands. This includes new workforce with skill sets, workforce leaving through retirement, etc.. will be identifed through this analysis.

comfortable workplace

idea posted by Sudeep Tarafdar Senior Consultant, IBM
The basic step to engage an work force is to make him feel comfortable from the day 1. The candidate should be made feel that he is a new member in the family and make his life comfortable. A new entrant must feel welcomed it does not include you standing at the entrance and greeting him with a garland or anything for that matter. What we are talking about is that before the actual joining of the entrant a proper seat and all the essentials that he needs for carrying out his task should be made available. This gives him the feeling of being comfortable where he'll have no issues on any regard as such....

Clarity

idea posted by Nikhil Jain Senior Consultant, Hewitt Associates
Like what he needs to do and what is expected of him from the organization, unless and until he knows what the organization expects out of him he wont be able to give his 100%. by which there will be productivity loss..By this you can make sure that he is giving his 100% at the workplace.

People Engagement

idea posted by S Usha Manager HR

If we look at building engagement with people holistically it should flow from the Mission, Vision, Values of the company.  Also systems, processes and behavious should be aligned.

The workplace has to be Fair place, to the organisation, to the stakeholders as well as to our own people.  Firmness and Fairness need to go hand in hand.  At the same time, we can't keep throwing the policy at people at all the time. there should be sufficient flexibility in the system.  The interaction top -down has to be easy with the function team, it should be fun dealing with people while keeping in mind their sensitivity.

Transparency and communications at all level is essential. There should be a people angle, instead of eveything just being Policies.

The superior needs to share his Objectives for the coming year.  Its required to have multiple levels of contacts among the team

It's a common belief that people engagement is important for Employee Rentention.
