How can Senior Staff Members Participate in Employee Engagement and Contribute to Building a Great Place to Work for Everyone?
To promote and sustain employee engagement efforts in your organisation, it needs to be led and owned by staff members, rather than just HR or the centre leaders. Experienced senior teachers, or similar senior staff members who have been in the organisation for a while and have an appreciation of its corporate culture are valuable partners who can serve as champions / change agents to influence, promote and implement initiatives that impact employee engagement.
For such employee engagement champions, they benefit from being more directly involved in contributing ideas, influencing decision-making and implementing employee engagement initiatives. They also represent their colleagues in communicating and providing feedback to continually refine and improve in the implemented initiatives, that contribute to making their organisation a great place to work for everyone.
This workshop aims to equip new employee engagement champions with essential knowledge and skill-sets pertaining to planning, implementing and communicating employee engagement initiatives in their preschools. These include being aware of (1) the purpose and value of employee engagement, (2) their roles and responsibilities as champions, (3) how to plan and implement the common types of employee engagement initiatives and (4) how to engage and communicate the various stakeholders before and during implementation.
As a result, the employee engagement champions will feel more enabled and empowered to perform their roles and duties within their preschools and make a difference to their workplace and colleagues.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Gather relevant information from management & HR for effective preparation and implementation of employee engagement initiatives
- Establish a project management plan to manage and guide the successful implementation of employee engagement initiatives
