EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT PLAN
Less than 33% of Americans are considered “engaged” in their jobs. Engaged employees are
enthusiastic and excited about their work, and happy in their current environment. Disengaged
employees are not concerned about organizational vision, goals, or their own performance. As a result,
organizational growth and outcomes are delayed, there is less creativity, and morale decreases.
What can leaders do to facilitate
engagement at work?
Leaders can provide clear communication and honest
feedback to make sure employees understand their
roles in the organization.
We help achieve our goals because we provide:

___________________________________
___________________________________

We rely on our people for:

Leaders also keep employees motivated
and challenged at work.
Ask questions such as:
What particular strengths do you want to utilize
more?

Are there any specific projects we’re doing here
that you would like to be involved in?

Leaders make sure their employees have
the training they need to do their jobs
well.
Leaders find out what employees want to further their
careers and job skills by asking:
1. What would you like more training on?
2. What would you like to learn next?
3. Is there anyone here you’d like to learn from?
Leaders strive to improve the workplace
for their people.
1. What can we do to make the workplace more
enjoyable for you?
2. If you were your own boss, what would you
change?
3. Are we challenging you enough?
4. Are there any tools or technology that would help
you do your job better?
Leaders provide positive feedback quickly.
What gets rewarded gets repeated.

strengths and I am impressed with how you
