Who Controls The Thermostat? A Real Talk On Engagement
Engagement isn’t a one-time spark—it’s a temperature that rises or falls based on what’s happening in the room. And just like a thermostat, someone’s always adjusting the dial. But here’s the real question: who’s in control?
In this episode of As I Was Saying, April Simpkins explores the concept of workplace engagement, likening it to a thermostat that can be controlled through effective communication and leadership. She discusses the importance of trust and clarity in fostering an engaged workforce, the different levels of employee engagement, and practical strategies for leaders to reignite engagement within their teams. The conversation emphasizes the need for purpose, recognition, and autonomy in the workplace; while also addressing the challenges of remote work and the mental toll it can take on employees.
If you’ve ever walked into a meeting and thought, “Wow, it’s chilly in here—and not because of the AC,” this one’s for you.
