Personalizing Employee Development
Future business keeps employees engaged by providing personalized development combined with flexible working models. There is no “one size fits all” program for employees and their development.

Remembering That Soft Factors Matter
Soft factors will become more and more important for keeping people engaged. People want meaningful work and want to participate in projects, receive exposure to executives, and receive immediately feedback recognition for the work that they did.

Hearing the Recruiter’s Point of View
Recruiters have to get right into the shoes of the candidate and understand what motivates them. This involves a good understanding of psychology and the ‘pressure points’ to probe and unsettle the lateral thinking of people. They also need to build a relationship of trust, honesty, and integrity.

Engaging Employees Through Content
Companies have a better platform than ever before to share their ideas, goals, visions, and plans. Content through social vehicles are perfect augmentations to traditional corporate communications.

Investing in Career Development and the Community
The attraction of work to many has shifted from monetary acceleration and status to cooperation and community awareness and engagement. Organizations that offer career agility, the opportunity to move around to take lateral roles, work internationally, or spend time with a nonprofit will attract and retain the best going forward.

Focusing on Intrinsic Motivation
For employees to feel a sense of intrinsic motivation (and, therefore, to feel engaged with his or her organization), we must look past the notion of “carrots and sticks” (rewards and punishments) to get things done. Instead, social psychology supports that employees are motivated when they have autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

Building Relationships
Relationships. Relationships between boss and employee, and employee and employee. If a person has a “buddy” at work, they are more likely to stay. If a person feels their boss cares about them, they are more likely to not just stay, but to invest even more into the company’s success.

Inviting Everyone to Contribute Fully
The business of the future keeps its employees engaged by liberating and leveraging their individual and collective genius. The most profound source of motivation, regardless of title or position, is a human being’s quest for significance. The need to matter does not stem from the ego; it stems from our DNA.

Helping Employees Define Their Own Destiny
By providing them with a means to control their own destiny. The best companies will be those that provide an environment for self-directed learning, monitoring and defining their own career path, and reaching out across the organization without borders and without the organizational silos.

Tapping into Employees’ Basic Needs
It's time that more managers tap into our basic needs as human beings and leverage them to motivate employees. Managers must learn about their employees' strengths (what lights them up) and find ways to adjust the work to line up with each person’s strengths. Shawn Murphy
