Employee Engagement Makes High Profit

I am Sharmila.N doing my final semester of master degree in management studies. I got an opportunity to become a part of Helikx for which am feeling very happy. I am being an intern over there and doing a project on the topic  "Effectiveness' of Employee Engagement". I choose this topic for find the manpower efficiency in the corporate. High Engagement gives a great experience to the corporate peoples. The following are some engagement activities that can be given to the employees.

1. Involve employees in your business planning process

Every 6 months, or even quarterly, pre-sent the most important issues in your company and the actions made to address those issues. Involve your team in planning ahead, assessing opportunities and coming up with improvement ideas for 

your business strategy. By promoting transparency and offering them a strategic insight into how the company is being managed, you'll foster loyalty and you'll also have a prepared leadership pipeline

2. Create a knowledge sharing system

One of the biggest costs of a high employee turnover rate is the loss of essential information. A knowledge sharing system helps you avoid that cost, to some extent, and it's also a great engagement driver for newcomers. You can have a mentor-ship program, pairing experienced employees with newly hired ones. Create a learning program template that they should follow, giving them enough space to test their own learning methods. Give them a time frame, a set of objectives and let the relationship unfold on its own

3. Show them the money

Nothing builds trust like showing some-one your financial statement .  And that's exactly what you should do in your company. Give your team a quick presentation of the financial state of your company, every quarter or at the end of the year. Show them how everyone's efforts are linked together, set bold objectives for the next months and get everyone involved in meeting those objectives. You'll notice that this activity links back to the 1st one. Encourage employees to take responsibility for the success of the company if you want them to put in their discretionary effort.

4. Encourage and provide learning opportunities

Create your own Academy, where employees can access the knowledge and development opportunities that they need. This is one of the top 3 reasons why employees quit companies: lack of learning prospects. Assess their needs and their pref-erences, create a curriculum and set -up 1-2 classes per week. Get them involved in deciding how you should schedule these learning initiatives (during or after working hours). Make it engaging and rewarding with a Graduation ceremony, caps and flowers and even a fun night out.

5. Migrate and Mingle

Have your own Office Olympics where everyone can get involved and have fun. Promote well being and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle in a fun, competitive way. Get to know each other in a different environment and connect people with the same interests. It's a great chance to get some of those chair-numbed-muscles going and bond in a friendly competition. Prizes and embarrassing photos are a must.

6. Have a hack night

Break monotony with an ambitious working night. Set a clear objective, create your own set of rules (breaks, music, snacks, etc..) and try to be as productive as possible in just one night. 

Get everyone together and test your creative and operational limits. I promise it's 

going to be really fun! Here's how the team at Hub-spot got together to create 200 hours' worth of marketing content in one hack night.

7. Make on boarding fun

Have a scavenger hunt on boarding. Turn information that is usually considered boring or useless into company trivia and learning how to use tools and systems, such as the internal communication system. Include other people in the game. For example, have some of the older employees provide answers and get to know the new hires. 

8. Create your own internal magazine

Create your internal employee-focused magazine with fun columns, news, featured stories and opportunities. Who wouldn't like to be featured on the cover as Employee of the Month? It can be an on-line magazine or a printed one.  

6 Reasons for Quitting Facebook

For the past 100 years  or so, there had been huge improvements in communication. From letters to telephone calls, from telephone calls to text messages, from texts  to video calls and  from to videos  to social network  and on and on. Following all these improvements, one of the biggest inventions of the 21'st century was founded in  2004 and since then it started to spread like an  epidemic virus, first in the US and then around the world.

Now Facebook has more  1.23 billion monthly active users. Although initially it aimed to bring all people together for the sake of connecting, the effects of Facebook on masses became a huge dis-course after it gained so much popularity. Until now, lots of disadvantages had al-ready been listed. It is now time to list the ones that definitely affect your productivity.

1. Facebook is a time waster.

While being on Facebook and scrolling down through the news feed, many are not aware of the time they actually spend on viewing others’ life events or sharing. It became such a disease that many even feel obliged to like or comment on any-thing that was shared. You might think of he time spend on Facebook as your free time, though you  are not aware that you  can spend the same time taking  care of yourself, learning something new or doing your daily tasks. 

2. Facebook can demotivate you.

By seeing someone else’s continuous posts  about the parties they went to  or friends they see  frequently, you might feel insecure about yourself and even feel as a loser  if your own posts  are not as cool as the ones in your news feed. However, there is rarely such a  thing as going out every day or having lots of acquaintances to meet everyday. Moreover, sharing eve-ry moment of your life is also not obligation, since being private is quite a norm.

3. Facebook makes you deal with use-less people

Look at the number of friends you have on Facebook. How many of them are really good friends? Or how many of the friend requests you get are real people or your actual acquaintances? You have to admit that you have people on Facebook who are not related to you, but who would write to you once in a while and more than likely, you will answer to them. Thus, you waste  not only your time, but also your energy.

4. Facebook makes you deal with use-less information.

It is one thing to read newspapers or magazines in order to get information, but it is 

an entirely other thing to be faced  with the same information, trends and innovations through continuous sharing's of people. I bet one of the things that you will not miss about Facebook after quitting it,are the selfies of girls with the infamous duck face.

5.  Facebook manipulates  you to work on your posts.

One of the biggest problems of Facebook is its influence on people’s creativity. Although it is assumed to be a free social media site, which let’s you to share almost anything you want, you have this tendency to want to get more likes. In order to get more likes, you must  work very hard on your shared posts, trying to make it funny, creative or smart while you could spend the same time doing something much more useful.

6.Facebook becomes your life.

The marketing strategy of Facebook is quite clear  –  to make you spend as much time as possible on the  Web site.  While working on their posts to be cool and wasting time on Facebook, many people actually try to be someone else, but end up being isolated from real world and real themselves. It is possible to spend the same time and energy into simply being yourself, or a better version of you.
