Engaging employees, and keeping them engaged, is critical to retaining and developing talent in an organization. Here are five critical principles for leaders to consider to keep employees onboard, adapted from Forbes.
1. Act as an organizational compass. Help employees understand how they fit within the organization, how they can leverage their talents to outperform themselves and how they can best support their colleagues.
2. Facilitate influential relationships. Workers’ professional networks will eventually reflect back upon them and their own professional organizations. Leverage this concept by assisting employees in making beneficial connections, both for the employee on an individual level and his or her organization.
3. Don’t be territorial. Allow employees to understand what responsibilities leadership handles, and how employees’ responsibilities mesh with the purview of management.
4. Encourage employees to be independent thinkers. This kind of tool will keep your organization growing and thriving and will substantially develop the skills of those in your organization.
5. Help your employees “get discovered.” The best strategy for keeping talent employed is to help employees realize their potential.
