The Various C’s of employee engagement
You may think you engaged a pair of hands to help out your business. But that pair of hands comes
with a heart and a brain. You pay for the hands, but you get the brains for free. The biggest bonus
for you is the heart! I came across this idea of 10 C‟s of employee engagement somewhere on the
internet. While I do agree with all of them, I have found some of them a wee bit contrived. And so I
am sharing it with you the same ideas from personnel of 30 years ago, long before the term
“employee engagement” was coined! The C's that I have practiced very successfully are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Credibility
Confidence
Connect
Congratulate
Correct
Clarity
Career
Employee engagement is not at all difficult. It is fun and rewarding. It also builds relationships and
the workplace becomes a lively place to look forward.
Talent Management - Use higher level approaches instead
In my decades in this noble profession, I have grown benumbed to the call to rectify the loss of
human resource with improvements to salary and benefits. In those days, we still referred to
human beings as human beings, not talents. It seems to be the only response managers know
how to use in those days.
How do you really keep talents? Apparently money is not the only answer, as important as it is.
People do not work for money alone. Try looking into the push factors …….. i.e. factors in your
management culture that is pushing your people to your competitors ! They are probably things
you have failed ot think of, till now. Let us tickle you with just three, here i.e.
1)
Smart financial management that pay off your vendor partners quickly. Strong vendor partnership reduces negotiation stress and hurdles, and help to keep talents.
2)
Train talents in relationship management and how to uphold their image as professionals
and deal professionally with others, gaining respect for themselves as worthy representatives of
your organization. They will hate to leave you after this.
3)
Challenge your talents with responsibility and freedom to act, BUT give them clear guidelines on the authority that comes with that responsibility to see that they can enforce whatever is
needed to bring in the results expected, and set clear rules on the boundaries of that authority
such that they know how not to abuse it.
Talk to MIHRM if you want to know how to go about retaining talents apart from the run-of-themill, academic approaches. We can talk to you about all those, too. But we know better.
