22 What would you do? INTR 4.1

23 Self Management The skill of reflection enables you to test the validity and assumptions behind your thoughts and anticipated response How? STOP TEST and REFLECT CHOOSE AND ACT appropriately 23

24 STOP Or at least slow down REFLECT What is the emotion telling me? What is the message behind the emotion? Why am I feeling as I am? What are possible responses? CHOOSE AND ACT Choose the most appropriate response and act on it 24

25 Activity : The Stop-Test Challenge Stop (The Event i.e. The Cookie Thief) Think of an event where you did not like your response. What happened? How did you respond? Think of an event where you lost it, got really angry or overwhelmed. What happened? How did you respond? Think of an event that did not go in the direction that you wanted it to because of your response. What happened? How did you respond? 25

26 (continued): The Stop-Test Challenge Think, Reflect and Test (Choose your Response) What did you believe that made you respond in that way What did you feel that made you behave as you did? What are other possible ways that you could have reacted. Generate a list, (however far-fetched). 26

27 The Power of Choice Event Freedom to Choose Response Between the Event and my Response there is a space. In that space lies my freedom and power to choose. Can I choose a different response to get the result I want? What could my options possibly be? In these Choices, lies our Emotional Intelligence 27

28 (continued): The Stop-Test Challenge Choose Response and Act What would you have had to do, think or change in order to make that choice? Can I think of an event you would like to apply this technique to now? 28

40 Leading Change The big (and often painful) leadership question is; what do I need to change about me to help them? Instead of just wishing for a change of circumstance, I may need a change of character. Jim Clemmer (Consultant, trainer and author on leadership)

41 Managing Employee Engagement & Performance

42 The Power of Employee Engagement

43 What is Employee Engagement? Heightened connection to work, organization, mission or co-workers Beyond job satisfaction or happiness Personal meaning in work Pride Belief their organization values them More likely to go above minimum and provide discretionary effort.

44 Employee Engagement Employee engagement is a property of the relationship between an organisation and its employees. An engaged employee is one who is fully absorbed by and enthusiastic about their work and so takes positive action to further the organisation s reputation and interests. An organisation with high employee engagement might therefore be expected to outperform those with low employee engagement, all things being equal. Employees with the highest level of employee commitment perform 20% better and are 87% less likely to leave the organisation, which indicates that engagement is linked to organisational performance. In a study of professional service firms, the Hay Group found that offices with engaged employees were up to 43% more productive. Source: HR Future June 2005

45 Why Does Engagement Matter?

46

47 Benefits of Employee Engagement Higher levels of engagement drive: Improved employee performance to support mission More collaborative and innovative work environments Lower costs of disengagement.

48 Engaged Employees Have strong relationships in organization Highly motivated to work hard Stay even for less money Go the extra mile Recommend organization as good place to work

49 On the Other Hand Not engaged Not strongly committed to organization Feels trapped Gives bare minimum Actively disengaged Poor relationship with organization Only going through the motions

50 The Virtuous Cycle Of Engagement Engagement is The extent to which employees are motivated to contribute to organisational success and are willing to apply discretionary effort to accomplish tasks important to the achievement of organizational goals. Great managers and supportive work environment Engaged employees - Satisfied - Committed - Proud - Willing to advocate Better individual performance giving discretionary effort Improved company performance

51 How Do We Know If Our Employees are Engaged?

52 Ask Them!

53 Engagement Survey Questions Pride in work or workplace 1. My organization is successful at accomplishing its mission 2. My work unit produces high-quality products and services 3. The work I do is meaningful to me 4. I would recommend my organization as a place to work Satisfaction with leadership 5. Overall, I am satisfied with my supervisor 6. Overall, I am satisfied with managers above my immediate supervisor

54 Engagement Survey Questions Opportunity to perform well 7. I know what is expected of me on the job 8. My job makes good use of my skills and abilities 9. I have the resources to do my job well 10. I have sufficient opportunities (such as challenging assignments or projects) to earn a high performance rating Satisfaction with recognition received 11. Recognition and rewards are based on performance in my work unit 12. I am satisfied with the recognition and rewards I receive for my work

55 Understand Motivation in Teams What is motivation? Motivation is the force that makes us do things. This is a result of our individual needs being satisfied so that we have inspiration to complete the task. These needs vary from person to person as everybody has their individual needs to motivate themselves. 55

56 ovement vs. Motivation MOVEMENT takes place when employees do a job only for some benefit, or to carry out a task only to avoid some unpleasant consequence. This movement can take place from behind or from the front e.g. threats of punishment is movement from behind. Carrots to induce staff to perform better is movement from the front. Example: Employees complete a task quickly if told they can go home early! This is movement, not motivation. They do not work quickly because they enjoy the work they want the free time! Source: Creating Winners in the Workplace by Dr Arnold Mol

57 Motivation Pride People are motivated to perform a task with dedication, only when that task awakens their PRIDE. Pride in what they can or have achieved. If employees do not go home at the end of the day with a feeling of Wow! Look how good I am! Look what I have achieved! you have failed to motivate them. Human beings, regardless of race, culture or level of education, have a deep-down desire to be proud of themselves. There will be exceptions, but the majority of people not only want to be proud of themselves, they also want to be respected by others for their achievements. The most effective leaders are those who have discovered the secret of harnessing the pride of their teams. Source: Creating Winners in the Workplace by Dr Arnold Mol

58 Herzberg s Motivation Hygiene Theory MOTIVATORS Achievement Recognition The work itself Responsibility Advancement Growth HYGIENE FACTORS Company Policy Administration Supervision Salary Interpersonal relations Working conditions

59 Factors That Create Pride An experience of SUCCESS Keep score, enable people to improve their own best score. Allow them to set their own goals. RESPONSIBILITY Delegate decision making two people can t be responsible for the same thing (e.g. safety or quality)! Effective managers help subordinates to do the work, not the other way around! RECOGNITION for achievement The need for recognition is a basic human need. Giving positive feedback costs nothing! Trouble makers are often just looking for attention.

60 Ownership Giving A persons Complete Job Factors that give people a sense of ownership of their jobs: 1. My Area - territory. Responsibility for an area. 2. My Equipment. Responsibility for operation, maintenance and outputs P & PC. Ownership implies functional authority (e.g. machine operators given authority to stop production). 3. My Product. Responsibility for a range of products (merchandisers). 4. My Client. Responsibility for specific clients. Source: Creating Winners in the Workplace by Dr Arnold Mol

61 What Does Empowering Mean? Power means control, authority, dominion. The prefix em means to put onto or to cover with. Empowering, then is passing on authority and responsibility. As we refer to it here, empowerment occurs when power goes to employees who then experience a sense of ownership and control over their jobs. Empowered individuals know that their jobs belong to them. Given a say in how things are done, employees feel more responsible. When they feel responsible, they show more initiative in their work, get more done, and enjoy the work more. Source: Empowered Work Teams by Richard S Wellins, William C Byham and Jeanne M Wilson

62 How Do We Achieve High Levels of Engagement?
