We have our own description of people’s level of engagement that is based on the way managers have described people in their teams when asking us for help … the following descriptions may appear to be humorous … but none the less … they exist … we use these descriptions to encourage managers to identify people in their teams and plan to support them and help them become more satisfied, fulfilled, motivated or engaged.
Leaders – People who use initiative, get things done and can be relied upon – How could you encourage these people more, help them realise their aspirations and keep them engaged?
Supporters – People who come to work to do a job and they do a good job? – What can you do for these people?
Sleepers – People who have lost interest … perhaps been in the job too long or waiting to retire – How do you help them become more fulfilled and productive?
Disengaged – Totally lost interest and may have become destructive – How do you bring these people back on board? What if despite all efforts they don’t change?
You may also benefit if you look at the following link and use the information to get your managers to explore ways of getting their staff more engaged.
