Employee engagement is not always understood in the same way. Science defines the term as the mental and emotional state that influences behavior in terms of organizational results.

How you and your team handle goal setting, decision making, and planning is one of the most essential factors in employee buy-in. Because when we perceive activities and tasks as meaningful, it can increase our engagement. This can be encouraged through involvement in the decision-making process or through open exchange with each other. All of this increases acceptance within the team and thus leads to better workflows. You don’t feel like a cog in the big machine, but hold the importance of your own performance high.<\/p>\n

If, on the other hand, decisions are made and power is exercised behind closed doors, the team feeling is reduced and with it the general level of commitment. After all, it is a matter of achieving the goals together. Only when the team is actively involved in decision-making processes and goal setting, and these are discussed transparently, does the motivation to contribute arise.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Only those who have a goal in mind know where they are going. Studies show that simply defining goals – without an additional financial incentive – can increase employee performance by up to 15 percent. To set appropriate goals together with the employees to keep track of the skills in the team and the overall development. In addition, this common goal also has a very motivating effect – for the leader and the team. This can increase engagement – for all sides.<\/p>\n

Discussing together what goals are actionable and how they can be measured can be a powerful boost to employee* engagement. This works for a long time if the progress is also regularly discussed on a regular basis. Especially long-term goals, which take up a larger time frame, need a regular check. So that the employees themselves can also be satisfied with their performance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
