The Third 'C' of Employee Engagement

Clarity is a Cornerstone to Employee Engagement

Let’s be clear: organizations thrive when they have a clear vision of their goals, values and principles. People need to know why their organization exists so they have a reason to give their enthusiastic support. When organizations are clear about what needs to get done, who needs to do it and how it should get done then everyone can pull together for a common cause.

Bu having a clear vision isn’t enough. It is essential that this vision is communicated clearly and regularly to the entire workforce. Ensure that goals and decisions are consistent with your vision, then remind your management team and your employees that their actions also need to be consistent with this same vision.

One way to achieve clarity is to ensure that job roles support the company’s direction.
1. Job descriptions are an important part of achieving clarity because they help employees know what is expected of them.
2. Identifying goals and objectives help employees understand where they are and where they are going inside their organization.
3. When employees know what their advancement opportunities are and they are encouraged and supported in their efforts to achieve them, then they will give their full attention and energy to helping the organization succeed.
4. Measure your results. Then communicate them to your employees so they know if they are on track, meeting targets and objectives and achieving the goals you have identified as key to your organization’s success.
5. Reward and recognize your employees when they succeed.

Clarity is a cornerstone in the quest to achieve and maintain employee engagement. Employees who know what their company stands for are going to be more successful at working together to achieve those goals.
