Action Planning led by employees boosts employee engagement because the process itself demonstrates that the opinions of each person on the team are important.

THE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT STEERING COMMITTEE
• Little to no employee participation in action planning = FAILURE
• Empower employees through engagement steering committee
• Comprised of employees from all levels and areas of the organization:• Ensure at least 1 person from senior leadership (who shouldn’t lead the
committee)• Avoid manager and direct report both on committee.

PRIORITIZING OPPORTUNITIES
Improving engagement should be focused on dimensions exhibiting a combination of low performance scores and strong drivers
Focusing on the lower dimension scores exclusively may not fully address what is needed to target and improve engagement

“Leverage & Expand”
“Medium/ Low priority”

THE RECIPE FOR ACTION PLANS THAT WORK
TalentMap has assisted hundreds of organizations not only measure, but improve employee engagement. The following are the most common characteristics of successful action plans:1. Senior Leadership sponsorship and active support2. Employee involvement and extensive consultation
a. Employee engagement “steering committee” consisting of employees from all areas and levels within the organization
3. Focus solutions on department drivers while aligning to organization-wide engagement drivers; and avoid temptation to solve the daily frustrations, i.e. communication.
4. Implement some actions quickly (“quick wins”)5. Employees champion actions. Leaders are held
accountable.

THE ENGAGEMENT ACTION PLANNING WORKSHOP
• Creative ideas and solutions to employee engagement issues are most effectively developed in group-settings.
• Ideal workshop size: 20-50 participants. Don’t let the fact you have a smaller group stop you.
• Five components to a successful workshop (example workshop agenda and tools provided in Appendix)
1. Establish a non-threatening and fun atmosphere2. Focused ideation around a limited number of engagement priorities 3-4 of
the 6 priorities to develop ideas – in small groups3. Prioritization and evaluation to turn ideas into initiatives4. Clearly identify champions, accountabilities, and timelines.5. Document as you go.
Action Planning Workshop Focused on Key Engagement Drivers
Employee Driven Solution
Development
Creativity Exercises: Collages
Action Idea Wall
69 Action Ideas were developed in this Workshop
Full-day workshop in which we use a creative ideation techniques to help employees develop a series of “action ideas” which will work to improve engagement around the key engagement drivers.
Typically employees will develop 50-75 action ideas. These will be prioritized to identify the most promising ideas, which will in turn be evaluated and more fully developed.

Employee Engagement is not a Project with an End
• Would you treat building ‘trust’ as a project or process with a beginning and end? Employee engagement is about continuous connection. Engaging employees must become part of the organization’s DNA. How?
• Leadership accountability
• Regular meetings of the Employee Engagement Steering Committee (it should never disband)
• Keep adding “fuel” in the form of new ideas
• Celebrate Success (even little ones)!
