Course Overview:

Employee engagement is a necessary strategy for companies that want to succeed in the marketplace.  Employee engagement is not an HR initiative that managers are reminded to do once a year.  It is a key strategic driver of employee performance, accomplishment, and continuous improvement all year long. It is the outcome of how your organisation interacts with people to drive business results.
This Employee Engagement training is suitable for anyone that works in a management or leadership role.

Course Contents:

Help improve the engagement of your employees and increase business success
Engagement is a heightened emotional connection that an employee feels for his organisation, which influences them to put in greater effort. Higher engagement levels yield higher productivity and retention rates. This makes employee engagement a powerful factor in business success. Engaged employees are more productive, customer-focused, and profit-oriented and organisations are more likely to retain them.
An essential part of an organisation’s talent management strategy is its focus on employee engagement and retention. Organisations that maintain this focus create an environment where employees have the tools, resources, and professional opportunities to develop skills and fulfil their career goals.
Why is taking this course a good idea?

Well, just imagine if your you were better able to:

Understand the importance of employee engagement and the key part it plays in business success.
Apply tactics that motivate and engage employees, creating advocates for the business.
Achieve a working environment that encourages employees to excel at work activities.
Ensure talent retention by creating positive working relationships.
Develop a strategy for employee engagement success.
Prevent activities that cause disengagement and disgruntled workers.
Ultimately, these training course materials will help managers to engage and enthuse their team, creating a motivated workforce that wants to succeed.
Employee engagement is a key factor in creating the right conditions for all members of an organisation to give their best each day, committed to their organisation’s goals and values, motivated to contribute to organisational success, and with an enhanced sense of their own well-being.
These course materials aim to help highlight the requirements that managers and leaders have to help improve the engagement of employees, while giving them key tools and supporting content to ensure they are prepared  to deliver on employee engagement within the organisation.

Course Topics:

Introduction and Objectives – Setting the scene for the training course, defining what is meant by employee engagement and establishing participants expectations.
The Current Situations – Using a PEST analysis approach to identify the current status of employee engagement within the organisation, whilst establishing the internal and external factors that can have an impact on employee engagement.
Roles and Responsibilities – Establishing the different roles people have in ensuring employee engagement and the responsibilities that we all have for ourselves in ensuring we are motivated and engaged at work. Participants are encouraged to consider their own level of engagement, what this means and how it can improve.
The Four Enablers – Focusing on the Four Steps to Employee Engagement and how organisations and the leaders within it can create the right environment for a positive outlook to be nurtured. Includes a case study to identify key working practices.
Job Design – Understanding how the implementation of a job role can affect how the employee feels about it and the five characteristics that should be considered to help develop a role that employees are motivated to work in. Includes a chance to apply the five characteristics to a job role to help relate the approach to a real scenario.
Creating the Right Work Environment – Reviewing the big picture and the approach that the organisation and managers should take to ensure a culture of engagement and motivating factors. Creating an environment where employee engagement can flourish and applying techniques to personal work experiences.
Engagement and Retention – Establishing the importance of long-term career growth and opportunity to engagement and how this helps develop employees that feel valued and enjoy what they do each day. Includes a case study to identify how the approach can be applied to real-life scenarios.
