Workplaces where people are engaged do significantly better in productivity & performance. If we want to build better staff engagement, we need more conversations, not "engagement campaigns".
Too often, leaders who want to improve staff engagement build “campaign-style” interventions: analysing levels of engagement, having listening sessions, broadcasting messages & creating dashboards. Yet engagement isn’t a tool or a project - something you can "install" top down. It’s a daily, ongoing practice, rooted in the rhythms of conversation.
The single force that shapes day-to-day engagement more than any other is line managers. (In the NHS, it is the frontline leaders, around band 7 level, who line manage >60% of the NHS workforce & who have an outsized influence on NHS productivity & performance). Consistent, authentic dialogue between managers & teams creates the psychological safety people need to speak up, take risks & challenge the status quo.
If we want better engagement, we need to support front line leaders to develop skills for conversation-based leadership & build in routines that enable regular conversations to happen: https://t.co/54Wk1FfDXS. By Kyle Jones on @Medium, via @LauraJYearsley.

If you're not working this weekend, take some time out to do something that you love.

Rest is different from play,.. do both!
Have a great weekend!

Psychological safety is not about withholding criticism. It’s about enabling people to speak up without fear.

The goal is not to lower our standards. It’s to replace knee-jerk reactions with open-minded consideration.

All ideas are welcome. Not all views are equally valid.
