The Right Tool

What does engaged mean? You’ve learned why engagement is important [part 1]and also who is a part of an engaged culture [part 2] but what do you do now? As the famous martial artist and philosopher, Bruce Lee once  said,

“Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.”

 

Here at Novareté, we want to help you apply all you have learned about employee engagement by putting the right tools in your hands and showing you how to use them!

Where’s Your Bat?

As a baseball fan, it would be confusing to see a player step up to the plate without a bat in hand – or even worse, with a hockey stick in hand! Unfortunately, that is often what we do when we learn a new concept without having someone there to show us the ropes. Here at Novareté, we not only want to alert you to something you may be missing out on – engaging and aligning your employees to your company values – we want to point you towards the solution.

Let’s put the baseball bat in your hand, walk you to the plate, and show you how to hit a home run with employee engagement. Let’s look at one of my favorite ways that Novareté’s system helps implement astounding employee engagement using a facet in our software called Contributions.

The Power of Contributions

Contribute:

1. to give (something, such as money, goods, or time) to help a person, group, cause, or organization
2. to help to cause something to happen

I love these definitions of contribute from Webster’s Dictionary because they exemplify how employee engagement is built – through contributions. It is through employees giving (time, effort, information) and being engaged that cause something (company chemistry) to happen. A healthy culture is founded upon the contributions of its individuals and that is the foundation that Novareté’s Contributions page is founded on.

One Big Family

Using Novareté’s Contributions page is about making the workplace one big family by opening up and making connections. Our Contributions page has been used for wedding announcements, engagements, birthdays, weather warnings, policies, and even video messages sent from top executives straight from their phone!

Employees are given points for their contributions as well as kudos by other employees. Not to mention, Contributions are linked to company values – further implementing company culture.The Contributions page is just one of the many amazing tools Novareté offers for building employee engagement.

What does engaged mean? Engaged means contributions and employees who bring their whole heart and passion to work each and every day. Hitting a home run in employee engagement means a win for your business – so are you walking up to the plate empty-handed or with the wrong equipment? Let us put the perfect bat in your hands today!
