In order to help employees understand what and why they do what they do, it is estimated that this is the easiest way to increase happiness and productivity, and to try to follow them as good habits. So today, we’re going to discover how to increase happiness and engament in IT companies.
Thus, here are some simple ideas that should help your employees feel more engaged with their work and the company.
1. Share positive stories
Companies have many stories of how employees have solved problems or helped those in need in a way that left someone happier.
However, many companies and employees like to play the modesty card and hesitate to showcase their achievements.
Great leaders understand the power of positive stories when they show the value they want for the customer.
In this sense, you need to showcase your greatness!
The more stories a company compiles and associates with the main objective, the more powerful it becomes.
Even other departments, such as IT and accounting, need to organize stories.
Many may be more internal, but it is still important to document what is happening so that everyone understands and is inspired by those who are there, in the same work environment.
2. Explain the idea again and again…
Leading companies have a vision that guides everyone in the company. They know how to get there and help explain what needs to be done to make it happen.
It is this vision that helps focus on what the employee does within the company. That is, without explaining this vision, many employees become lost, unable to see what is truly important.
“If you’re changing the world, you’re working on important things. You’re excited to get up in the morning,” says Larry Page, ex-CEO of Google.
And the more ways the company explains its visions, the clearer it becomes.
3. Celebrate big and small results
The number one reason a certain employee leaves their job is that they don’t feel appreciated.
Leaders can do something as simple as walking up to them and just thanking them for their hard work.
However, this should be done in large and small groups. Larger meetings can occur about 1 to 4 times a year, while smaller groups (celebrations within a department) should be done more frequently.
Thus, people want to know if what they do is important. This means celebrating all the good things.
I know one of these themes will help and impact your company. Successful companies are those that make these ideas a regular habit.
