DECEMBER - 2022HR TECH OUTLOOK APAC9Strategic Communication in Company Vision, Mission, and Core ValuesEmployees are more productive, motivated, and engaged when they understand their organization's vision, mission, and core values. Leaders have to communicate it by clearly defining each statement and why they're crucial to the organization.Organizations can create multiple communication channels to broadcast their vision, mission, and core values. It could include during training, town hall meetings, company celebrations, podcasts, social media, visual media like posters in some office areas, or laptop wallpapers.Employee OnboardingA successful employee onboarding process is critical to creating engagement from the very beginning. It will help the new employee feel more valued, understand the culture better and create a sense of commitment to achieve organizational goals. Few tips on making the onboarding process more memorable:- Create a physical onboarding kit. A customized package of exciting company-branded items to make them feel welcomed and proud to be part of the team.- Schedule a lunch with their manager and the people they work with. It is a good opportunity to have a casual conversation with the team.- Buddy Program. Pair the new hire with a more experienced existing employee to give guidance through their first weeks or month. Focus on Learning and DevelopmentOne of the main contributors to dissatisfied employees in an organization is that there are few development opportunities. Especially for younger generations, learning and development play a significant role in their engagement level. By giving our employees access to a learning program that helps them improve their competency, they will be more driven to invest time into their personal development and able to grow together with the organization.To ensure that the learning and development program is successful, we need to tailor our approach to align with the organization's vision, mission, and core values. Then, consider the learning delivery method to match some conditions such as organization size, budget, timeframe, and location. Nowadays, there are many options to pick which one is the best to meet the organization's needs. Employee learning strategy can include training (instructor-led classroom training, instructor-led virtual training, E-Learning through learning management system, blended learning), coaching, mentoring, etc. While employee development strategy can include job rotation, management training, and career planning. Build Feedback CultureA culture of asking for employee feedback can have a powerful effect on employee engagement. Great culture values employee voices and allows them to lead organizational improvements. The most common feedback initiatives are employee pulse surveys, annual engagement surveys, and employee check-ins (1:1 meetings). Leaders can determine which approach is best for their organization but the most important thing is to make it a routine and ensure to put the most effort into taking action on the feedback.Rewards and RecognitionGood compensation and benefit program are definitely important, but they are not the only things that employees are looking for in an organization. Incorporating rewards and recognition, will lead to greater overall employee engagement. Leaders can start from very simple ideas like writing thank you notes, celebrating work anniversaries, employee and manager's choice awards, years of service awards, peer-to-peer recognition, and many more.Short BioAldi Ghazaldi is an HR professional with over 15 years of experience mostly in HR Business Partnering roles.
