129 - Co-Creating Your Culture by Empowering Your Employees

The trend we are seeing is that in order to attract and retain top talent in the future, companies need to actively work with their culture.

1. Employee engagement is a two way street.

I often hear frustrations from top management about the entitlement attitude that the younger generation has regarding the benefits they expect to receive from the companies. According to the Harvard Business Review, the Generation Y, or Millennials, are over half of the global workforce now and within a decade will make up 75 percent of the workforce.

When striving to create an amazing company culture, leaders must realize that the culture is co-created with the people. And the employees need to take ownership for their own engagement and happiness at work.

2. No one is obligated to make you happy except yourself!

So yes, companies need to consciously work on their culture to make it a great environment to work and so that employees can thrive. And a big part of that strategy is empowering your employees to realize just how much skin they need to have in the game too.

Here are six simple yet empowering questions from world-renowned business coach Marshal Goldsmith on increasing employee engagement that helps employees take ownership for their own engagement.

  • Did I do my best to set clear goals?
  • Did I do my best to make progress towards achieving my own goals?
  • Did I do my best to be happy?
  • Did I do my best to find meaning?
  • Did I do my best to building positive relationships?
  • Did I do my best to be fully engaged?

When you start to focus on doing your best and knowing that it is only up to you to accomplish this, suddenly you start to bring your best self to work and into your own life.
