Walk the walk,
talk the talk
Senior leaders play a really important part in how your company culture is
shaped and in turn how engaged your people feel. They should be walking
and talking your values and behaviours.
Support your
managers
Develop your managers and recognise their positive behaviours. They’re
crucial to engagement levels and as they say “employees join great
companies, but quit bad bosses”.
Communicate Make sure your communication is consistent, transparent and in line
with your purpose and values. Otherwise you risk lack of buy-in and
trust which is counter-productive.
Keep in touch You can’t support improved engagement if you don’t know how people are
feeling. Build feedback into your culture with different ways for your
employees to let you know how they’re doing and visa versa.
