In recent years, many organizations have assessed the level of commitment of their staff. Basically, there is a direct link between productivity and staff engagement.
People-centered organizations have a high score in staff engagement. They often manage to make profit while attracting and retaining talents. All good reasons to improve the situation if the level of commitment is low.
According to my observations, these measures bear fruits in this respect:
- Combine empowerment and strong management
- Lead with values, not rules
- Create a trustful environment in which people can safely experiment
- Let people work-out-loud
- Enable more conversations with always more and more people inside and outside the organization
It is clear that digital technologies can help in their swift and efficient implementation.
