Introducing the Engagement Reset
COVID-19 has forced a sudden shift in the way we work. There are an estimated 4.5 billion people worldwide whose movement is restricted by some kind of lockdown. The impact of COVID-19 is already being felt, but once the immediate physical health emergency has passed, there will be a longer-term challenge which organisations will need to rise to. It’s not just the economy which is in free-fall, we watched employee engagement collapse as the pandemic took hold. The early insights show we have our work cut out (Harris Interactive, May 2020):
- 39% of employees say they feel less productive than before the pandemic
- 37% say their mental health has declined
- 38% report increased feelings of loneliness
- 29% feel a lower sense of community
- 20% say they are not OK spending time alone for work
As we move from lockdown to the new normal, the way organisations plan, prepare and respond will make all the difference to their engagement and subsequent performance.
We now are beginning to understand the health footprint of the COVID-19 pandemic.
To meet the demands of the “4th Wave” organisations need to support employee engagement and wellbeing through the following phases:
- React
- Adapt
- Renew
There has never been a more critical time for organisations to adapt and renew their approach to employee engagement
Introducing the Engagement Reset
Now is the time to rethink your employee engagement strategy and approach.
As the pandemic continues to play out, it is clear that a transactional approach to employee engagement is no longer fit for purpose. There’s never been a better time to make the move to a more transformational approach to engagement – an approach that is both agile and human-centred. An approach that will help you navigate the challenges of today and the coming months, as we shift from adapt to renew.
To respond to this challenge we’ve developed our Engagement Reset Workshop, to walk you through the steps needed to move to transformational engagement. We’ll share practical tools, and use design thinking methodology to help you to reset your engagement approach in a way that’s right for your people and your organisation.
It’s a practical, applied, virtual, 2-hour workshop that is guaranteed to give you the tools you need for the reset and beyond.
In the Engagement Reset workshop we’ll cover:
- The current engagement context, exploring challenges and opportunities
- What is the business need and how can engagement help deliver this?
- How do you do it? A look at the psychology of engagement and transformational engagement
- The role of the engagement enablers and how we can use them
- Taking a people-centred approach to engagement – understanding what your people need to be engaged
- Coming up with your Reset Engagement Plan and the tools to help
Our Employee Engagement Reset workshop will give you the practical tools, insight and inspiration to do it.
