Are your employee engagement initiatives working? Have you actually asked your employees what they want? In this episode of the Kirkpatrick podcast, hosts Vanessa Alzate and Jim Kirkpatrick have an insightful discussion about enhancing employee engagement to drive performance. They provide practical strategies for connecting employees to the organization's mission and goals, defining critical behaviors, and creating a culture of open communication and continuous improvement. Specifically, learn how to convey clear expectations in a digestible and motivating way, collaborate with employees to set key performance indicators tied to organizational outcomes, and collect honest, constructive feedback that is a tool for improvement and not just a pat on the back. If you're not continuously evaluating where you're putting your time, money, and resources, then your investments may not be producing the internal motivation you're expecting to see in your employees. It's time to trade the one-year performance review for a more dynamic model that can act as a bridge between engagement and performance.
