  • Employee Engagement Activities
    15 EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES 1 INVOLVE EMPLOYEES IN YOUR BUSINESS PLANNING PROCESS Every 6 months, or even quarterly, present the most important issues in your company and the actions made to address those issues. Involve your team in planning ahead, assessing opportunities and coming up with improvement ideas for your business strategy. By promoting transparency and offering them a strategic insight into how the company is being managed, you’ll foster loyalty and you’ll also have a prepared leadership pipeline. 2 CREATE A KNOWLEDGE SHARING SYSTEM One of the biggest costs of a high employee turnover rate is the loss of essential information. A knowledge sharing system helps you avoid that cost, to some extent, and it’s also a great engagement driver for newcomers. You can have a mentorship program, pairing experienced employees with newly hired ones. Create a learning program template that they should follow, giving them enough space to test their own learning methods. Give them a timeframe, a set of objectives and let the relationship unfold on its own. 3 ENCOURAGE KNOWLEDGE SHARING IN A CREATIVE WAY Teams are oftentimes isolated within their own project and their own workspace, that they have no idea what the rest of the company is doing. Create an open sharing space, once every 2 months or so, where every team can present updates on their project and key learning points. Teams will evolve much more rapidly, using the knowledge shared and the different experiences on every project. To minimize the risk of this turning into a boring, mandatory 2h meeting, make it fun and creative.
