Ricky, an executive coach and leadership expert, emphasised that an engaged workplace doesn’t happen by luck, it takes conscious effort and intentional planning to come to fruition. A couple of the areas that Ricky mentions will contribute to an engaged workplace include:
Empowering employees to be involved in thinking and doing opportunities;
Ensuring the organisation has a commitment to a set of values and behaviours that focus on high performance and results;
Creating an environment where continual learning opportunities are available and employees are challenged;
Focusing on communication and relationships; and
Recognising and rewarding employees for their efforts
