Blog 4 - The importance of employee involvement in achieving work-related goals

 


Employee engagement is a strategic method to fostering organizational progress and transformation. To anticipate and respond to an organization's requirements, engaging people necessitates a year-round effort on modifying behaviors, procedures, and systems. Employee engagement is high when workers are invested in, devoted to, excited about, and passionate about their jobs.

Employee engagement has become a well-known and extensively used word (Robinson et al. 2004). However, practitioner literature and consulting businesses have produced the majority of what has been published about employee engagement. There has been relatively little scholarly and empirical study in this field, as Robinson et al. (2004) point out.

CONSEQUENCES OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

The fundamental reason for employee engagement's appeal is that it has good repercussions for businesses. There is a widespread perception that there is a link between employee engagement as a personal trait and business outcomes (Harter et al. 2002). As a result, there's reason to believe that employee engagement is linked to people's attitudes, intentions, and behaviors. Despite the fact that neither Kahn (1990) nor May et al. (2004) included outcomes in their research, Kahn (1992) claimed that engagement leads to both individual and organizational results (i.e. the quality of people's work and their own experiences performing that job) (i.e. the growth and productivity of organizations).

CONCLUSION:

Human Resource Management is a method of determining which practices and policies in a company are most effective in terms of motivating, retaining, and maximizing staff productivity. HR can help the organization better manage engagement and foster motivation, productivity, and retention by using a matrix of engagement predictors (organizational process, values, management, role challenge, work/life balance, information, reward/recognition, work environment, and products/services).

Without an atmosphere that encourages employee engagement, turnover will rise and efficiency will fall, resulting in lower customer loyalty and stakeholder value. Finally, because low employee engagement is costly to an organization's performance, top management must develop positive, successful people managers, as well as workplace policies and practices that prioritize employee well-being, health, and work/life balance.

    Changing an organization from a strict top-down hierarchy to one that incorporates employees at all levels in decision-making is a difficult task that necessitates not just structural and policy changes, but also cultural shifts that require time, effort, and knowledge. Good Luck.

    Employee participation, as you indicated, lets employees feel like they are a part of the company.
    As a consequence, individuals become more accountable for their job and push themselves to achieve higher outcomes.
    This expands the range of options for creative problem-solving in the workplace.
    Good luck.

BLOG 2 - Sustainable Human Resource Managament

Human resource management theory and research have been rapidly evolving since the 1980s. In most cases, the impact of HRM on performance has become a hot topic. The mainstream literature has mostly concentrated on the following three questions: 1)       1.  What is Human Resource Management (HRM)? 2)        2.  What is the definition of performance? 3)        3.  What ties them together? While empirical researches have mainly supported the premise and provided evidence that HRM is favorably associated to performance, the findings seemed hopeful and promising at the time. As a result, the main message was that HRM is important to business success and can translate strategic rhetoric into workplace reality . T oday's challenges in HRM include employee burnout, workplace stress, health issues, and difficulties managing work and personal obligations .

BLOG 3 - Employee Relations and Engagement during pandemic

  Employee satisfaction is critical to the success of any company in the corporate sector. Only a happy employee can form positive interactions with his or her coworkers, which improves his or her productivity. The current Covid-19 event has largely altered the working environment. Due to lock down, people are forced to live in social isolation and emotional and social distance. When there is no other option, industries and organizations are forced to work from home using various online digital platforms during COVID -19.   The term 'worker relations' refers to an organization's efforts to manage relationships between managers and employees. A company with a good representative relations program treats all employees fairly and consistently, allowing them to focus on their jobs and remain loyal to the company. Such projects also aim to prevent and resolve challenges that arise as a result of work-related circumstances (Rea, A., & Shinn, J. 2015)   There are f...

Blog 7 - Managing reward strategies in organizations to increase employee performance, retention, and productivity

Image
In a worldwide market where millions of firms compete for the best personnel, a company must be able to inspire and reward people effectively or risk losing them to a rival. The management of reward strategy, which ensures organizational well-being, has frequently been stressed in organizational discourse. This is due to the fact that one of the most basic issues of reward management is how it may help encourage people to attain high levels of performance, secure their retention, and increase output in the firm (Armstrong and Stephen, 2005). The term ‘’reward‘ is discussed frequently in organizational literature as something that an organization offers to the employees in response to their contributions and performance and also something which is desired by the employees (Agarwal, 1998). The objective of a reward plan  to design policies and procedures that will attract, retain, and inspire high-quality workers  to assist the attainment of organizational goals and offer fair a...
