When your employees are actively engaged in the workplace, they feel happier and ready to go above and beyond to achieve your company’s goals. Don’t believe us? Here are the stats.
Employee engagement software uses a combination of surveys, task management tools, and data analytics tools to help leaders in an organization uncover blind spots in their culture and boost employee engagement.
Employee engagement is the exact state of how team members feel determined and attached to their work. And while your job isn’t the main component of your life, it sure does take up a big portion of it.
While there are various definitions of employee engagement, our definition is simple: the level of commitment team members have to their organization and how satisfied they are in their role.
At the core of it, employee engagement is what keeps an organization alive. It’s a workplace approach that provides the best conditions in an organization.
When it comes to employee engagement surveys, it’s only a measure of how happy employees are, but it measures how dedicated people are to the company’s success.
Constructive feedback for managers is just as important as constructive feedback for employees. When employees feel seen and heard, they will be more open to the constructive feedback that their manager provides them.
Truth is, delivering constructive feedback is not always easy. There's a distinct line between feedback and criticism, and oftentimes those giving feedback blur the lines. To be specific, feedback and the words you use may alter your feedback to sound more like criticism and negative.
Feedback can be given in three ways: Through constructive feedback, recognition and praise, and criticism. When it comes to helping your peers achieve success, don’t fall into the trap of focusing on just positive feedback and criticism.
Unlike criticism or negative feedback, constructive feedback is used to instill confidence in your team members while telling them how they can improve. The primary difference between constructive and destructive feedback is the outcome.
Feedback is a two-way street. It should never just be from leadership to team members. Don’t get us wrong, we understand that giving feedback to your manager can be scary. But feedback is intended for all individuals.
We need candor more than ever. To be specific, we need radical candor now more than ever. We named dropped radical candor a couple of blogs ago, but we promised to come back.
A lack of candor when giving professional feedback, updating your team on the status of a project, or encountering any workplace situations can lead to dire consequences.
Candor is no "small" skill. It's the foundation of a healthy work environment that allows a free flow of information. But in reality, professionals aren't too keen on being transparent.
It’s important to expand your bandwidth, get equipped, and support your team during these sensitive times. Here are the top five professional and soft skills to keep under your belt amid COVID-19.
