For #thankfulthursdays I’d like to give gratitude to Pat Whitty for teaching me this.
I would say that this information is GOLD, and I’d recommend every leader to have this as a checklist where you will ensure that each and every one of these “employee needs” get addressed at certain intervals.
Based on a study performed by Gallup, there are 12 Needs that Employees Require to find True Engagement and Perform at Their Best:
- Focus on me
- Equip me
- Help me find my fit
- Recognize a contribution, weekly
- Care about me
- Help me grow
- Hear me
- Help me find the impact of what WE do
- Help me feel everyone will be held to equally high standards
- Help me find and form vital relationships at work
- Assess my progress and areas for growth
- Challenge me
It does not have to happen all at the same time. Some may be weekly, some annually or when you set objectives, and some are behaviors that you have to exhibit each and every day.
As a leader, I myself will be implementing this and ensuring these become habits that I live by day in and day out.
And I would hope that you will do the same too.
Share this with a leader who you think would benefit greatly from this!
