You don’t need to be a research scientist to understand how to get the most out of your employees: make them feel comfortable and they’ll do the best job they can. Unfortunately, work is still seen as work by the people who have to do it every day: your job as a leader is to change that perception. Do what you can to make it a pleasant experience: put yourself in their shoes and change things like environment, duties, and levels of responsibility – those make people feel good about where they are and what they do. Make sure you recognize their efforts: thank them for coming to work and celebrate the things they do – let them know you’re aware and care. Tell them what’s going on: a little information goes a long way in making them feel part of the team. Think about how you feel when working for others and then treat your people the way you want to be treated. That’s how to get them engaged today.
