Supporting Employee Engagement [HD BizBlog- The Blog: Productivity in Context]

Anita Bruzzese has a post at 45 Things that builds on the ideas of the Sixth Habit: Synergize that I wrote about on Monday.

On the Job

What can managers do to help keep customers while not placing more stress on workers? Try:

  • Providing a supportive environment. An employee who has been put through the wringer by a customer should be supported by a manager by being allowed to step away from the job for a while. A chance to take a short walk, or even take the afternoon off, can show the employee that the manager is sympathetic to the situation.
  • Recognition. A manager needs to make a habit of recognizing the contribution that workers make to an organization, and the emotional stresses faced every day. Rewards and incentives show that the employee has worth.
