Class,

Employee engagement is an important strategy to foster within an organization because without it, HR will be in a constant state of hiring and scratching their heads as to why they can’t seem to retain their employees. Although employee engagement is important, there are other areas of importance that also need to be looked after by HR as well, such as the salary comparison research, satisfaction and employee burn-out. Per Fletcher, Alfes & Robinson, “…an integrated perspective that considers both cognition and affect is needed in order to fully understand why organizational factors, such as T&D relate to important employee outcomes, such as retention” (2016).

Many years ago, I worked in retail management within the hoke improvement industry. The HR frequently got burnt out and we saw a different HR Manager every few months. We finally met an HR Manager who had a very different approach than the previous managers. The HR Manager engaged with employees on the sales floor, created exciting events which increased employee engagement on their breaks, lunches and at our all team meetings. The HR Manager brought us managers into her office to discuss how to properly prepare monthly, quarterly and annual feedbacks with our team members to ensure we align their professional goals with supportive actions and ensure we are staying on the same page as our team members on a continuous basis. We had never had such an engaged and empowering HR Manager previously and our team truly became stronger together through her leadership. Per Fletcher, Alfes & Robinson: “Intended practices, as developed by the HRM department, capture an organization’s strategic HRM intentions. They are typically interpreted by various line managers, who implement these HRM practices in their day-to-day work with employees” (2016). The change in our HR Management tactics

positively affected our entire team, and we saw retention increase and employees became interested in our organizational goals like never before. Our younger employees even became interested when their managers and upper leadership took the time to ask them what they thought of various policies, goals and initiatives across the store. Our team meeting turned into a celebration of success stories following the first quarter of our new HR Manager’s professional development of the management team, which then positively affected each individual team member as well.

Thanks for your insights! When employees feel they have some degree of control over their career path they tend to be more engaged with the company. HR can help employees with career paths through coaching, mentoring, providing training and development opportunities, job rotation, and even special project assignments. All of these opportunities for employees give them the chance to grow and move upward. This naturally creates engaged and motivated employees.

This Forbes Business article has some great information on this for you:

How have you seen HR enhance engagement?

Cheers!
