Of employees studied, 25% say they are fully
engaged at work and 19% say they are actively disengaged.
�
Stimulate your
employees to be more engaged using positive reinforcement.� Start by
understanding that everyone enjoys being recognized when they do good work.�
Then begin to modify the management approach to employee recognition.�
See articles below for steps to make this work.
�
�
When this begins
to work well, reinforce it even more with appropriate reward systems.�
See these articles for suggestions on how to create a good reward system.
�
�
Positive
reinforcement could be the key to better results in human resource
management, which should lead to better business results as well.
�
�
If positive
reinforcement is a new concept in an organization, try a group discussion
activity to get people thinking about how this might help improve
performance.� Find examples and a positive reinforcement exercise
on-line at
http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/leader/positive.html
�
Another idea
is to have everyone in a group read the same book on positive reinforcement
and then get together to discuss what they learned from the book, ideas they
have tired and what worked best.� A short business book on this topic
is Whale Done!� The Power of Positive Relationships by Ken
Blanchard.
