Each new decade brings a younger generation into the workforce—and statistically, each new generation is less and less engaged. Frankly, we face this engagement reality from the executive level to the customer experience, and it shows on the bottom line. The practice of employee engagement is seldom implemented effectively, resorting to periodic rah-rah motivational bumps or overused incentives no longer able to drive the performance necessary to remain competitive. The methods traditionally used  to encourage and motivate an ever-changing workforce are becoming obsolete, and we struggle to understand why.

But this is changing.

We need to inspire instead of motivate. We can enable managers to lead by example and free the constraints that keep a workforce stifled, unprepared and fearful to step into their own power. That we can each, as individuals, contribute to the organization's goals by allowing people to come alive and engage with their own ideas, energy and passion. This is an enlivened workforce.

How are YOU inspiring your team?

Free Their spirit

A Gallup® report claims that 70% of workers are not engaged at work. That is likely the person sitting next to you at the matinee, the barista that just handed you your latte, the medical technician taking your blood pressure. Where are we failing? What are the tools and behaviors that will shake things up and develop a new paradigm we can all understand? What can we do to make workers care?

It's not about what we do, but what we believe.

When we find ways to free the spirit and passion of a worker, we unleash their ability to create and perform in the way they feel most inspired. This is a critical distinction in whether or not workers invest in the organization's success or remain detached, participating with minimal involvement. With freedom comes responsibility—responsibility for actions and results. What would normally seem like chaos can be turned into a burning fire of recommitment, vision and purpose. People want to believe in themselves and their ability to do meaningful work that makes a difference in the organization and with the customer.

Is that you? Is that your workforce?

How visible is their passion for the work they do?

Measurements are unemotional, some would say inarguable. They are the cornerstone of how an organization evaluates itself, creates new strategies for improvement and is able to compete in a more commonly turbulent marketplace. However, measuring becomes a bigger challenge when we dance with the qualitative data that is the worker—the human being. Suddenly we have to factor subjective influences and behaviors that make black and white data ironically comforting.

Instead of measuring, what about discovering?

Translating and identifying what it is that evokes the level of dedication, engagement and performance from workers is critical to creating a shift in the way people perform and contribute. This is done at the team level and the individual level. Every worker is unique and likely has more to offer the organization—and the customer—than is currently being tapped. Giving a worker permission to demonstrate humanness and acknowledging them for their humanness will jolt the foundation of what we have come to know about measuring performance.
