12 elements of Employee Engagement
1) Ensuring your employees know what is expected in the tasks of
their job
2) Provide your employees with the actual tools and resources they
need to perform their job excellently. Don't make them scrounge,
hoard, or steal to get their job done.
3) Do your best to let the employee use their best talents in their
work. Fit the job to what they do best rather than making them fit
themselves to get a job done.
4) Provide compliments, recognition, and public pats on the back
weekly.
5) Foster an environment where people feel cared about as a person
by other people.
6) Be sure employees understood a career path and are
developing new skills.

7) Listen to employee opinions and implement the really good
ones.
8) Show them how their work directly connects to the mission of
the firm.
9) Foster teams that succeed and do quality work so each person has
a sense of belonging, of success, and of pride.
10) Create a culture where each person feels that they have to come
to work to be with one of their best friends.
11) Talk with each employee about their progress as part of your
everyday work rather than only at the annual interview. Use the
interview to review accomplishments and set next year's goals.
12) Provide real opportunities for each person to learn and grow as
a person as well as an employee.
