How do you overcome employee engagement fatigue?

Where from comes engagement? From match of personal carrier needs with company's values. I think, that besides developing culture, communicational channels, surveys etc. leader should invest his/her time in understanding what drives employees. Sincere One to one sessions are one of good instruments. From them you will understand who is internally motivated to grow and who has never thought about. And it is OK. We are all different. Clear rules, SMART targets for all and more mentoring for those who is seeking.

?Por qué unas Empresas son exitosas y otras no? Influye el monto de la inversion?, será por su estilo de administración?, tal vez su estrategia de mercadotecnia?, pudiera ser su visión de negocio? Una perspectiva diferente nos hará ver que la eficienciencia empresarial no provine de un enfoque en el resultado final sino en el origen de ese resultado, para que las expectativas financieras se den por CONSECUENCIA y no por INTENCION.

📌 To overcome employee engagement fatigue, organizations should prioritize clear communication, provide opportunities for skill development, and foster a positive work environment. 👉🏻 Regularly communicate the company's vision and values to remind employees of their purpose. 👉🏻 Encourage continuous learning and growth through training programs and career development initiatives. 👉🏻 Promote work-life balance and create a supportive workplace culture that values employees' well-being. 👉🏻 Recognizing and rewarding their efforts also boosts morale and helps combat engagement fatigue. ⭐️ Ultimately, a holistic approach that combines communication, growth, and well-being can reinvigorate employee engagement.

The key question is: what is the organization trying to achieve? where are we going? what is our purpose? our why? That is the beginning of our communication arc to build engagement, I often see engagement campaigns completely blind to what the business is doing, and its impact becomes automatically negative.

Reinforce the connection and commitment to work. Provide a culture where employees feel heard and have a voice in reshaping processes that better serve business needs. What are you prioritizing and deprioritizing? Your goals should simplify. Keep employees focused by setting clear individual and team goals. Leverage technology and collaboration tools to allow employees to do their best work. Cut out unnecessary meetings, which are taxing to employees. Relinquish dependencies on bureaucracies, obscure tribal knowledge, or one-off solutions in favor of streamlined solutions that your team identifies. Employees need to be in an environment that is resourced to support them.

I agree. At times, too much of anything is also not good. A good time frame to conduct surveys is biannually. Based on the results of the 1st survey, implement a new initiative. Post the execution of the initiative, conduct the 2nd survey to check on further improvements. With this approach employees will look forward to participating in such surveys and give realistic inputs.

Rather than focusing on survey driven feedback first, the basics need to be covered. If your managers aren't doing regular 1:1s and/or having development conversations, fix that first. You shouldn't be taking a tooling first approach.

Address digital exhaustion. Employees are more connected to information through social media. Employees risk burnout as mental fatigue is real with stress and workloads. Identify employee burnout before it becomes a problem. Find ways for employees to connect, gather, and have time to do their work through in-person, hybrid, and remote settings. While employees are connected more than ever, there is a feeling of compression as work and home life have limited separation. Build a foundation of transparency, resilience, and agility to help employees thrive in change, prevent burnout, and sustain the team’s energy to drive the business forward.

HR is always trying to figure out how to add value, however, is often not able to embed its programs, plans, and initiatives in the business. And rarely takes into account how those are going to be received, implemented and used. But it is not about the what, also about the how, often the language is not that of a partner, a coach, more like a "police" creating defensive reactions and resistance to change.

The best way to prevent this fatigue is to actually listen to your employees and help them be happy and feel safe within their work environment. So once you have their feedback, proceed to corrective actions. This is they way to show your employees that you respect them and value their opinion. If you just go through infinite cycles of feedback, yet problems get bigger, people will be exhausted.

THIS! We all are motivated by different activities and incentives. The key is to have conversations with your employees to understand their interests and aspirations. Then, look for commonalities across your employee base and you'll end up with a good variety of engagement ideas to consider.

Una estrategia que ha mostrado excelntes resultados, es involucrar a la familia de los Colaboradores en las actividades de Engagement, de tal manera que el impacto que se logre en las familias de los colaboradores, se reflejará en el nivel de compromiso de los mismos, bajo la presión de su misma familia para permanecer y realizar un buen desempeño laboral.

Lots of great platforms and tools exist for personalizing how employees are best engaged. These range from choosing your swag, giving a forum for sharing personal preferences and stories, choose-your-experience rewards, plus choose-your-coach options. As a CHRO and HR consultant, I’ve seen all of these approaches work at some point, depending on context.

Engagement is a very individualistic thing. Everyone has their own set of standards and expectations. Learning how different employees interact is crucial to building an individualistic yet holistic experience for employees and leaders. Some things that may help drive such a program is incorporating personality assessments and training, team building activities, and various communication activities to help encourage adaptive strategies to better engage with the one.

Recognition awards require careful thought. Its all too easy to continually recognise just one outstanding individual in any one team, but doing so repeatedly can easily discourage the team members that also help produce that success. So try and encourage & engage teams rather than individuals - and ensure that employees at all levels feel involved in the process too.

As a marketing strategy professional, I ask employees for marketing research because they are like customers. This helps me to get extra insights along with the other methods includes decision maker interviews, polls, sales team and web analytics. Well, Same applied internal processes.

Involving employees in engagement strategy creation fosters ownership, commitment, and better outcomes. Getting their input can drive improvements and tailor engagement to their preferences and ownership of the project.

Employees can be your best cheerleaders. Get them involved early on to maximize motivation and ensure more relevant and successful outcomes.

If an employee suggests revising processes, it’s important to hear it and be open to adjusting and streamlining. While it is tempting to table a new idea in favor of how we’ve always done it, that approach contradicts evolutionary thinking. Involve your employees; they are well-positioned to refine processes that impact their work. Let them. Doing so benefits employee experience and retention.

The most effective is getting employees involved in the process. Don't put it on them to create. But have them, facilitate, follow -up, and give feedback!

Es importante también, considerar que el Compromiso de los Colaboradores puede ser manejado con mas profundidad, en mi opinion, el compromiso es consecuencia de la existencia de un motivo o una razón (en mi opinion, la palabra MOTIVACION no existe como un verbo a conjugar, sino que es una connotacion de dos conceptos: MOTIVO y ACCION, hay que buscar los motivos que hacen que las personas actuen como nosotros requerimos que lo hagan.

Communicate. Communicate. Communicate. Take time to celebrate the small wins (and also the big) and don't be afraid to talk about how you are working on improving.

You can also plan the engagement surveys and have a roadmap for the surveys and for the actions and responses to the surveys. This way you can reduce the fatigue and help your team and the organization look forward to actions and projects.

Offering employees the freedom to choose their engagement activities encourages a sense of ownership and genuine interest. However, it is crucial that these activities are closely related to their job, career goals, and company goals. Activities not aligned with their daily tasks or ambitions can lead to a lack of interest and become mandatory or unwanted in the eyes of colleagues. Hence, mapping the real needs is also crucial.

As with any good thing, moderation is key. Employee engagement should not be a constant bombardment of team building activities, surveys, and recognition. Instead, it should be a carefully curated approach that takes into consideration the needs and desires of the employees. For instance, if employees are feeling overwhelmed with work, perhaps a few hours off work to engage in a self-care activity such as a massage or spa day would help re-energize them. Regular communication and feedback sessions should be encouraged to address any issues or concerns employees may have. Employers should strive to create a workplace culture that allows employees to feel valued, respected, and appreciated.

Work fatigue can arise owing to work-overload, in-sufficient headcount to do a job, unable to take rest from work and so on. My suggestion is to allow employee on vacation, between 20 - 45 days. Employer can decide to choose from considering this vacation as paid or un-paid or deduction from an employee leave balance. The aim is to ebb out all sort of tension about work from the mind of an employee, so that they resume afresh

Don’t forget to regularise your reminders around support tools such as employee benefits too. Employees that understand and can access important wellbeing tools are likely to feel both better supported & more engaged. Yet such offerings are too often overlooked in regular communications.
