What makes people care about their work? And are your employees hearing how much you value them before they decide to leave?
In this episode, Jack Nehlig and Trevor Robinson explore employee engagement through three areas leaders can influence every day: meaningful work, psychological safety, and support and recognition.
A LinkedIn post about Gallup’s employee engagement findings gets Jack thinking about the connection between leadership and how people experience their jobs. He shares the story of Jim, whose carefully packed catalog shipments showed a customer the care behind the company, and an employee who only heard how much their boss appreciated them during a departure conversation. Together, Jack and Trevor discuss how leaders can help people see the value of their work, remove obstacles, and make recognition a regular habit.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How to help employees connect everyday tasks to meaningful contributions
- Why removing waste from people’s jobs is part of making work more meaningful
- How culture, leadership decisions, and uncertainty can affect people’s sense of safety at work
- What servant leadership looks like through practical support and regular recognition
- Why you do not need a management title to recognize others and be a positive opinion leader
