Introduction

At the heart of all employee engagement initiatives is communication. Good leaders and HR practitioners would know what motivates their employees, apply this knowledge to create opportunities for development and reinforce the value of an employee's contribution; and provide challenges and rewards to stimulate the workforce, fostering a supportive environment where employees want to and can succeed.

However, creating such a work environment is complex. With the influx of younger workers and the proliferation of technology at work, the environment needs to be more flexible and transparent. When people join the organisation, there is always the need to continuously improve, redesign and tweak the work environment to make it modern, humane and enjoyable; and when they leave, it is usually a combination of the organisation and all its elements that cause the turnover.

From guiding their employees to nurturing high performance teams, the responsibility for employee engagement often falls on direct managers. Yet, research shows that a high proportion of managers strongly believe they cannot influence the action plan to improve engagement, as organisational strategies and budgets are determined by the executive team.

Being inherently cross-functional, the HR function has a certain degree of authority in terms of managing the employees. So, it is down to HR practitioners to integrate and sustain employee engagement in HR initiatives and strategy.

This one day workshop focuses on how the HR role can be proactive and effective in driving employee engagement.
