Engaged Employees, Impactful Organization
Unique and powerful methods for keeping people at the center of everything you do.
GUEST BIO:
AJ Alegria is a member of the senior management team at AHF and also serves as Vice President of Healthcare Center Operations within the Department of Medicine.
Dan McKenzie works in the marketing department, overseeing marketing operations in Los Angeles as Associate Director of Client Experience and Staff Engagement.
CORE TOPICS + DETAILS:
[1:56] – How You Make them Feel
Want engagement? Start with emotions.
Creating an engaged culture can seem like a huge task but start small. Start with how people feel when they come into work. Ask, what do your staff members say about their work experience at the dinner table? How do they feel walking in every morning? Start with these emotionally focused questions and you’ll be on your way to empathetic leadership.
[3:52] – Even Beyonce Wants Validation
A powerful example from Oprah
Oprah Winfrey once said that at the end of her interviews, no matter whether it’s Obama or Beyonce, their interviewee always turns to her and asks, “How did I do?” Everyone wants validation, even the most confident people in the world. It’s part of what makes us human.
[10:16] – Different Kinds of Recognition
Some people want to be engaged privately
We may think that every employee wants a big, public show of recognition, but some people prefer more subtle acknowledgements of their work— whether they’re shy, humble, or simply don’t like the noisy attention. Keep in mind that what’s right for one person may not be right for another and get to know your people accordingly.
[13:03] – Systemize Caring
Why a formal process leads to better engagement habits
AJ speaks of a leader who created a get-to-know-you sheet for all new hires, asking questions on topics that ranged from kids’ names to favorite candy bar. It seemed silly at the time, but this kind of formalized process for engaging with employees leads to a more thoughtful approach to getting to know your people— their interests, wants, needs, and personalities.
[17:08] – About the Person, Not the Performance
Emphasize positive traits, not just results
Dan mentions that when he gives recognition, he tries to focus less on the result and more on the actual person and their positive traits. Rather than simply saying “Great job getting this task done,” try “You’re always so dependable, and your work is always thorough and high-quality.” This inspires people to want to live up to those traits within themselves.
