Ten Actions You Can Take To Mobilize Your Workforce around Your Business Strategy - Part 4

4. Drivers of Engagement

Those organizations that have researched the engagement challenge have surfaced a comprehensive list of factors that impact engagement. They identified anywhere from 15 to 300 drivers of engagement.

These factors pointed to:

• Organizational Culture Issues
  
• Senior Leadership Actions
  
• Middle Manager Actions
  
• First Line Supervisor Actions
  
• Actions Individual Contributors Themselves Can Take
  

We conducted a factor analysis of these drivers of engagement in order to:

• Identify the commonalities across models
  
• Surface the higher priority drivers using the Pareto 80/20 Principle – isolating those “vital few” drivers that make the most difference
  
• Put these factors into a coherent model that managers, organization, and individuals can use to build engagement
