Are your employees slacking at work? How can you improve employee engagement<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good engagement is when your employees are active and interested at work. Jack Stack and Bo Burlingham’s book The Great Game of Business<\/em> discusses how to foster engagement to create a healthier workplace environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn how to improve employee engagement<\/a> below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Benefit of Engagement<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before getting into how to improve employee engagement, we need to understand why it’s important. Stack and Burlingham explain that engagement helps companies succeed by unlocking employees\u2019 true intelligence, creativity, and dedication. <\/strong>Engaged employees<\/a> care about their jobs and the company they work for, so they\u2019re more likely to use all their available faculties at work. This helps the company succeed because employees who use their full intelligence make better business decisions, while those who use their full creativity find innovative solutions to problems. Those with a strong sense of dedication work harder for the good of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: It\u2019s possible that engaged employees work harder and fully use all of their skills because of a psychological phenomenon called reciprocity<\/a>. As discussed previously, early humans relied on group membership and cooperation to survive. To promote this cooperation, humans evolved to dislike being in debt to others. When someone feels indebted to another, they\u2019ll try to repay that debt. Since engaged employees are more likely to feel fulfilled and happy at work, they might feel indebted to the company that provided them with these positive feelings, which encourages them to work harder to help the company succeed and repay that debt.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, unengaged employees are at higher risk of losing motivation and becoming lethargic at work,<\/strong> Stack and Burlingham warn. They\u2019re more likely to focus on completing their specific tasks and collecting their paycheck, rather than on the company\u2019s success as a whole. As a result, they\u2019re more likely to use the minimum intelligence, creativity, and dedication required to complete their tasks, leaving a wealth of potential untapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: How can you avoid the negative effects of having unengaged employees and keep your workforce motivated? The key may be managing your employees effectively. According to First, Break All the Rules<\/em><\/a>, the biggest risk to employee engagement is inefficient and hostile relationships between employees and management. These negative relationships are often caused by mismanagement, such as micromanaging or putting employees in a role that doesn’t fit them. Training or hiring managers who can understand employees’ weaknesses, talents, and personalities can make employees happier and more engaged, give them the autonomy to take ownership, and make the company more successful.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Improve Employee Engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, how can you cultivate employee engagement? According to the authors, one important factor is promoting accessibility<\/strong>: Businesses that are accessible are usually also more engaging because employees are constantly learning new, interesting information that helps them take an active role in the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Accessibility is engaging because learning something new or mastering a skill releases a burst of dopamine<\/a>, according to Raph Koster in A Theory of Fun For Game Design<\/em><\/a>. This burst of dopamine generates pleasure and motivation<\/a>, making employees more likely to learn more about the company and become more active in its operations in the hopes of earning another burst of dopamine.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Stack and Burlingham maintain that accessibility is just the first step in generating engagement. We\u2019ve synthesized his further suggestions for learning how to improve employee engagement into two main categories: setting goals and offering rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #1: Set Company-Wide Goals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To create engagement, you need employees who are active and interested at work, Stack and Burlingham say. Setting specific company-wide goals achieves this by giving employees something concrete to work toward. <\/strong>For example, employees who are told that everyone has to make 100 sales this week will be more willing and able to take action and make those sales than employees who were abstractly told to increase sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, setting goals increases employees\u2019 interest in the work by showing them how they can influence the company\u2019s success or failure<\/strong>, Stack and Burlingham explain. <\/strong>Seeing how their actions move the company toward reaching its goals shows employees that their jobs are meaningful and therefore more interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #2: Offer Rewards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Offering rewards is also important for promoting engagement. People love getting rewards, Stack and Burlingham imply, and the existence of a reward interests them and encourages them to be active so that they can earn it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Rewards encourage engagement by associating active participation at work with positive feelings. Receiving a reward activates the pleasure centers of the brain<\/a>, providing a burst of dopamine that makes people feel happy. Thus, employees will be more engaged<\/a> because they want to earn more dopamine.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stack and Burlingham recommend two methods of offering rewards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Institute a bonus program<\/li>
  2. Offer equity<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
