The issue of Engagement
Engagement is the ‘Holy Grail’ for organisations in the 21st century. But how do you get people connected to your company and fully engaged with their role?
Engagement is a concept that isn’t fully understood. Even now people talk about communication as ‘information’ or ‘knowledge’ rather than engagement. This is surprising when things have moved on so much in the last few years and organisations are much more focused on ‘engagement’. However, many people talk about it, but have no real idea about how to implement it.
The Ring of truth...
Change and Engagement Coach, Karen Kimberley, has developed The Engagement Ring™: a simple model and metaphor that makes it easier to understand the process of engagement.
The Engagement Ring™ model begins when two partners meet. The initial attraction may be accompanied by an infatuation with the image, ‘brand’ or first impression of the partner. After this has worn off, the ‘induction’ into the relationship is often undertaken with a clear head – similar to the initial process of joining a new company.
Building a relationship
Both potential partners know what they have to do to make the relationship a success. They need to:
- present a good image
- be punctual and show up on time
- be polite and respectful
- excite the potential partner enough to want to meet again
- if all goes well, demonstrate a passion for the relationship
Once the initial commitment to the relationship has been made, it then moves on to the next stage…
