Six Universal Drivers That Maximize Employee Engagement

Overland Park, Kansas-based author Leigh Branham, along with Mark Hirschfeld, awhile back completed a survey of 10,000 employees in 43 states to better understand what separates a "best places to work" company from other companies.

What Branham and Hirschfeld discovered is that the best companies use six "universal drivers" that maximize employee engagement:

1. Caring, Competent, and Engaging Senior Leaders
2. Effective Managers Who Keep Employees Aligned and Engaged
3. Effective Teamwork at All Levels
4. Job Enrichment and Professional Growth
5. Valuing Employee Contributions
6. Concern for Employee Well-Being

Branham also explains that to get the best from your employees you need to re-engage them. You can learn more about how to do that in his book, Re-Engage.
