How does a company create a highly engaged workforce?
The best way to do it is to create a conducive atmosphere. Genuinely encourage employees to share their ideas, interests and concerns by providing a variety of communication vehicles.
Drive innovation by empowering employees to actively explore and understand the differing perspectives of their colleagues by providing conflict management training.
Be prepared to identify and address the intended and unintended outcomes of having an enlightened workforce by employing an independent, confidential resource like an Ombudsman.
By making these investments a company can truly reap the benefits of a highly engaged workforce.
