Employee Engagement
There are two ways to approach an employee’s first day on the job. You could look at it as a checklist of orientation activities.

There is no question about how important onboarding is for an employee’s journey and, ultimately, a company’s bottom line.

When an employee joins your organization, they’re virtually a blank slate. They represent an opportunity to mold them into a highly engaged, productive, and loyal members of your team.

Employee Recognition
Some organizations recognize team members when they reach five or ten-year service milestones, others reward star sales performers, and still others celebrate retirements for valued employees. But few companies have all their bases covered simultaneously, or let alone know what all the bases are, to cover them! The good news is that leaders and managers know that rewards and recognition programs increase employee engagement, which boosts a variety of outcomes including business performance and employee satisfaction.

Employee Engagement
Communication makes the world go around and that’s especially true in work environments. Employees need to understand what’s expected of them, how what they do helps drive organizational results and goal attainment, what they’re doing well, how they can improve, and how to work effectively with colleagues to get things done.

Employee Engagement
Why do human beings—and, in this case, employees—do the things they do? They do things because they’re motivated to do so.
