Summary
Boost employee engagement by fostering a culture of community within your organization.
Did you know employees in more closely knit communities report that they feel 76% more engaged with their jobs and more energetic at work? And, engaged employees are more productive and more likely to stay within your organization. How does your company create a culture of community?
If your team works in the office, consider having a weekly team coffee together. In today’s hybrid environment, you can also schedule a virtual 15-minute coffee chat with your team to create a culture of community.
At a larger level, many organizations offer volunteer opportunities for employees to give back to the community as a team, such as a 5k walk for a cause, canned food drive, or neighborhood clean-up.
Recent research indicates the Gen Z workforce is looking for a culture that values inclusivity and sustainability. They want to understand how your company supports the community and if part of your culture provides an opportunity for them to make a difference. If these values and initiatives are not clear or seen within your online presence or daily environment, your company may not be considered as a place where they want to work.
Regardless of generations, people are empowered, engaged, and energized when they feel they are making a difference. Organizations who offer opportunities for employees to make a difference in their communities with initiatives that matter to them help create a culture where people want to stay and work.
