Engagement - What's in a word?
Following up the last post on Leadership, I have used the same What's in a word? technique to explore the theme of employee engagement. Here goes: E : Whether Employee or Employer , both have Expectations N : Certainly both employer and employee have Needs that must be met G : This can be for Goals and for the truly engaged might mean Going the extra mile A : Might have to do with Action or Aspiration but here I want to use the term Attitude G : An employee may want a career plan. They will want to Grow that career E : Another E. Engaged people seem to get Enjoyment from their work M : Might have to do with Mission or Making a Difference , think Magnificent ! E : Another one? Good job we have terms like Enthusiasm ; how about Empowerment ? N : This letter could be for Nurture but could be for No Problem! T : This obviously must cover Training for the role. And when good at it, go for Trust .
