Personal Development

Engaged employees are enthusiastic about their work and committed to their jobs. The level of employee engagement in an organization is a product of the type of relationships between employees, their supervisors, and leadership.

Organizations can contribute to positive employee engagement by providing clear expectations, basic materials and equipment needed for the job, and effective internal employee communication. Supervisors contribute to engagement with regular feedback and dialogue with their employees.

An employee’s attitude toward the job and organization has a great impact on engagement, too.

Communication

Interpersonal

Effective communication requires skills in both talking and listening. Sir Winston Churchill once said 'Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.' Yet, effective listening and speaking take more than courage; they also require constant learning and practice. To prepare for both you need to build trust, manage emotions, and show respectful verbal and nonverbal behavior.
