Engagement Links to a Happy Career Part 1- Job Understanding:
In any job, clear and effective communication leads to well-defined job expectations. Here’s what this involves:
- Respectful Supervisor Communication: Regular, open dialogues with supervisors who respect and value employee feedback. The conversations will help us reevaluate our assignment objectives, priorities, and assumptions.
- Standardized Job Instructions & Descriptions: Clearly outlined roles and responsibilities of key tasks help employees understand exactly what are the deliverables and what is expected of them. This clarity eliminates confusion and empowers employees to perform their tasks efficiently.
These two simple initiatives serve as the foundational building blocks of motivation, promoting a sense of “automatic ownership” where employees feel personally invested in their roles and outcomes, leading to higher engagement and job happiness.
