One thing to start today to increase engagement and improve culture

​Start recognizing employees.

🚩 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Later, if you want, you can maybe consider a recognition system of some kind. But, for now, you just need a few minutes. Of course, you have to do it correctly, make it part of your culture and commit to continuing it.

✅ It’s not enough to suddenly start saying “good job” and thinking that’s it.

✅ Instead, be specific.

✅ Explain exactly why you appreciate them and what difference they made.

✅ And tell them immediately.

Also, train your managers.

Start 1:1.

If you later want to recognize publicly, make sure everyone is comfortable with that.  Nowadays, with so many working from home, it’s even more critical to build a culture of recognition.
