11 Ways to Gain your Workforce’s Commitment [Infographic]
April 10, 2018 3:49:00 PM

Let’s start with a mental exercise.

  • Your name is Alex.
  • You are a regular employee who works regular shifts.
  • It is a rainy Monday.
  • In the morning, the oatmeal exploded in the microwave.
  • You spilled coffee on your shirt.
  • You went to bed late the night before, because your son remembered he had homework to do, which needed your help.

Although your day has had a rough start, you know that your attitude can be what drives you to have a better day.

So, when you arrive at work, you hear that the project you have been working on for the last week was approved by the client.  It is excellent news because it is a great, and profitable, opportunity for the company. However, instead of pointing out the achievement, your boss decides to tell you that the format you used for the project did not have the colors requested.  You were also told that the promotion promised, will not happen as there were administrative changes.

This negative work culture is common on workdays.

How do you think you would feel that day? Will you feel motivated to go to work and excel in such an environment? It’s not very likely. These types of events can make an employee feel uncommitted to their work, and therefore, their productivity is not optimal, according to a study  conducted by Mental Health of America.

This emphasizes the great responsibility that companies must have to contribute to the employees’ welfare. Remember, if you humanize the company -that is, go beyond the economic benefit and improve the conditions and life of its people-, it is a step forward in the journey of earning your employees’ commitment.

It is a challenge since “workplaces are more culturally and generationally diverse” these days, mentions Rick Conlow, an expert in leadership aspects.  But thankfulness is universal across every culture, and the practice of recognition with your employees can help you gain their trust, especially when it is sincere and spontaneous. By giving them a voice and receiving from them, you can generate engagement, while also learning what their values are.

Thinking about the importance of seeing employees as an essential part of the business, we share with you this Infographic that will help you create a healthy culture that is aimed at creating an engagement with your employees.

As the Harvard Business Review says, “people want to feel loved and appreciated at work – and if you’re not giving them that, you’re not succeeding as a leader.”
