Your line supervisors have a critical role and must be prepared adequately to “grow” employee engagement, the critical combination of commitment and job satisfaction. According to this Accenture article referred to in my last post, adequate preparation must consist of certain elements get the job done. Basically, the curriculum must include how to determine:
-
What workers enjoy doing (related to the job, that is)
-
If workers have the necessary support
-
If they feel fairly rewarded, recognized, etc.
-
If workers feel their job is socially rewarding (supportive work environment and colleagues)
-
If workers feel comfortable with the organizational values and culture
-
If workers feel they have an adequate career path/plan/opportunities
How many supervisors get this kind of preparation? It certainly is a tall order. And I’m sure some of you are thinking there may be a bit of expense involved. Well, it could be rather expensive, but there are less expensive ways to get this in over time. The fact is that costs for ignoring line supervisors have been shown to be much higher. Your organization could be penny wise and pound foolish when it comes to performance management.
