Are You Forgetting This One Thing?

dv1560020[1]As a company leader, you’ve probably heard, read, and thought a lot about reengaging your employees lately. But, as you juggle a hectic workday and the challenges that come with managing your staff, you may not have had time to stop and think about your own engagement at work.

In the wake of the recession, many businesses have been struggling to boost employee morale and are now concerned with retaining their top talent. You’ve experienced the same frustrations your employees have about doing more with less. But, where most employees are focused on how difficult decisions or circumstances impact their own lives, you have to worry about how those decisions and circumstances impact your entire team. You aren’t just concerned with your time-management and productivity, you have to worry about your employees’ too. And all of that can be a lot to handle.

If you haven’t had a chance to take stock of your engagement but you’re worried about your employees’, now may be the perfect time to do just that. When your morale is low, it can be hard to find ways to improve your team’s spirit. Plus, chances are the stress and frustrations you feel are contributing to their disengagement.

So as you look for ways to improve employee engagement, take a step back and look at your own first. What changes can you make to your attitude, processes, workload, and environment? Your engagement is just as important as your employees, and it can have a broad impact on the whole team.
