Chapter 1: Increase Employee Engagement in 5 Steps
Source: TeamEcho
ยง1.1 What Is Employee Engagement?
Science defines the term as the mental and emotional state that influences behavior in terms of organizational results.
Employee engagement is, therefore, the emotional attachment of employees to the goals and values of their organization. It is reflected in the effort and satisfaction of each employee.
ยง1.2 Five Steps to Increase
#1 Transparent decisions
The team is actively involved in decision-making processes and goal setting, and these are discussed transparently.
When we perceive activities and tasks as meaningful, it can increase our engagement. This can be encouraged through involvement in the decision-making process or through open exchange with each other.
#2 Connect common goals
Only those who have a goal in mind know where they are going.
Studies show that simply defining goals โ without an additional financial incentive โ can increase employee performance by up to 15 percent.
+ Set goals together
+ Define goals smartly ( specific, measurable, attractive, realistic and scheduled)
+ Update goals together on a regular basis
#3 Show appreciation
Interpersonal relationships and the loyalty you build and maintain with your colleagues demonstrate that the overall team feeling is important to you.
On an emotional as well as a rational level. Whether through outings or events.
#4 Direct line one-on-one
Corporate and communication culture is not created by slogans on the website, but is conveyed and made tangible in direct conversation.
Ask employees the question in a direct conversation, โDo you feel engaged?โ The response patterns make it possible to identify problems such as excessive demands or resource shortages in departments.
#5 Honest feedback
The one-on-one interview is important โ but anonymous feedback goes a step further, providing even more honest insights.

Chapter 2: Unlocking Employee Engagement on LinkedIn โ 2 Pro Tips
Source: Jacob Lundรฉn-Welden
A recent study by LinkedIn found that it takes an average of 38 interactions with your brand over 7 months before a candidate becomes a hire at your company.
Having employees engage with your content that you post on your company profile is essential for driving brand awareness on LinkedIn and enables you to create multiple interactions through your content strategy.
You have to have access to your company profile's admin page so that you can post on the behalf of your company page.
2 tips to drive employee engagement with your company posts:
1๏ธโฃ Notify your employees
Send a thoughtful push notification directly to your employees whenever you drop a fresh post. While the notification function is available, it's best not to overwhelm employees with every post. Save it for pivotal momentsโmajor milestones or game-changing updatesโto maximize its impact.
2๏ธโฃ Use the "Recommend to employees" function
Provide shareable content for your team. Employees can choose from this library of content to post on their own profiles, expanding your brand's reach.

ยง3.1 What is the RESPECT in Employee Engagement?
The RESPECT Model is a powerful framework that reshapes the way we think about employee engagement. Itโs a reminder that respect, not carrots and sticks, is the cornerstone of a thriving workplace.
By implementing the RESPECT Model, organizations can foster a culture of engagement that propels them toward success.
ยง3.2 How to Make it Work
1. Recognition: Provide positive feedback for work well done.
2. Empowerment: Give employees training, resources, and autonomy. Then get out of the way.
3. Supportive Feedback: Give corrective feedback from the perspective of a coach. Be specific, timely, and supportive.
4. Partnering: Treat your employees and colleagues like partners. Share the big picture with them and help them think like stewards of the organization.
5. Expectations: Make the expectations of an employee's work clear, and make sure the employee understands them.
6. Consideration: Treat employees like humans, getting to know their personal lives and building rapport. They will trust you and open up about their personal issues, giving you more opportunities to help them.
7. Trust: Keep your word on promises, give credit where it's due, don't micromanage, admit your mistakes.
