The five simple steps, fantastically drafted! Well effective communication and empowering are the most significant steps i presume?
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with you RD ,as we all are lacking with effective communication which is the most power full tool in day today life even, and most of organization still hesitate to empower its employees by delegating relevant authorities . I think empowering employees are more effective in terms of motivating them self and it is an intrinsic motivation type.
DeleteYeah intrinsic motivation is becoming a common term in our HR departments now. Well Maslow thought of it decades back. Adding to this, yeah even our current government lacks effective communication strategies leading them to fall behind the game.
DeleteTouchable, useful information that sure reach every employee. Engaged employees will contribute effective and will be more efficient with work time. They will stay connected if we inspire, motivate them and handle them the necessary, support tools they need and can use. And the care they need to help employees to share positive work-experiences was another coach for success.
