Staff Engagement

from Overwhelm to Owning it

Paying someone more does not make them more engaged. Engagement is not transactional. Engaged people are intrinsically motivated. They care about the work, go the extra mile and think like owners rather than waiting for permission. So how do you know who is engaged, and who is quietly checking out? In this episode, Ally walks through an engagement model based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. You will learn: - The five levels of engagement, from disengaged and not engaged through to almost engaged, engaged and highly engaged - The behaviours and phrases that tell you where someone sits - Why "almost engaged" employees are your biggest opportunity, and why "there are no career opportunities here" is a red flag - How a clear career or succession path can lift engagement quickly - Why you need to look beyond what people say to understand what they need Your people cannot rise to a level of engagement you have not made visible.
