2. THE BIGGER PICTURE
The context for WHY Employee Engagement is critical:
The 20th Century model was “Business as Usual”.
MAKE EFFICIENT – aligned but not engaged, central
direction, command and control.

3. Transactional or transformational?
Transactional engagement
>A set of activities or targets
>Usually focussed around a survey
Transformational engagement
>Employees integral to developing and delivering the business strategy
>Requires deep belief in the power of people to contribute
- new and creative products/services
- outstanding customer/client service and efficiency
>A belief that our people are the solution, not the problem
4. Key enabler 1: strategic narrative
Strong, visible, empowering leadership provides a strong strategic narrative about the organisation,
where it’s come from and where it’s going.
The past You are here The future
This gives a line of sight between the job and the organisation’s vision.
The story is communicated clearly, consistently and constantly.

5. Key enabler 2: engaging managers
They:
focus their treat their people coach and stretch
people, offer as individuals their people
scope and enable
the job to get
done

6. Key enabler 3: employee voice
There is employee voice throughout the organisation, for reinforcing and challenging views; between
functions & externally; employees are really seen as your key asset – not the problem.
This voice is an informed one. Views are sought early and followed up; explanations are given if
ideas/views not adopted.
Trade unions/staff representatives are part of the engagement architecture – collective voice matters 6
7. Key enabler 4: integrity
There is organisational integrity – the values on the wall are reflected in day to day behaviours.
These expected behaviours are
explicit and bought into by staff.
Keep it real – staff see through
corporate spin quicker than
customers or the public.
Integrity enables trust: no
engagement without trust
