One of the biggest differentiators is how effectively the MSP model works across hiring managers, procurement, HR, business teams, technology, providers, and the people managing the program every day.

A strong structure creates the foundation. What happens after implementation determines whether the program continues to deliver value.

When that operating model starts to break down, the impact can extend beyond the hiring process. It can show up as slower access to talent, fragmented workforce spend, inconsistent supplier performance, weaker visibility, and greater reliance on off-program workarounds.

The Program Doesn’t Stop at Go-Live

Once an MSP goes live, the real operating environment begins to take shape.

New hiring managers come in, workforce requirements shift, business units evolve, and different teams begin using the program in different ways. Processes that worked well at launch may need to adjust as hiring patterns, skills, and business priorities change.

Over time, that can create a gap between how the MSP was originally designed and how it is actually being used.

Regular review helps keep the program aligned with current workforce needs, business expectations, and the way hiring is happening across the organization.

The question is not simply whether the MSP was implemented correctly. It is whether the model continues to work as the business changes.

Adoption Is a Critical Measure of MSP Success

Hiring managers experience the MSP through the ease and responsiveness of the hiring process.

They need a clear way to raise requirements, access the right support, and move different types of talent needs forward without unnecessary complexity.

When that becomes difficult, teams may start using familiar routes outside the program, whether that means approaching known providers directly, relying on older processes, or handling specialized requirements separately.

Over time, these workarounds can create inconsistent hiring practices and reduce visibility across the MSP program.

A strong MSP should make it easier for hiring managers to work within the program while still accommodating the different workforce needs of the business.

Adoption, however, should not be viewed in isolation. It is one important indicator of whether the MSP is working as intended, alongside fulfillment, quality, compliance, stakeholder experience, supplier performance, and workforce outcomes.

Good Governance Shapes Decisions, Not Just Approvals

MSP governance is not only about approvals, compliance, and controls. It also shapes how workforce decisions are made across the program.

Clear ownership is important. Teams need to understand who can approve exceptions, how new providers are introduced, how rates are managed, and which sourcing or engagement model is appropriate for different types of work.

But governance also has to work in practice.

When rules become difficult to apply or processes do not reflect how teams actually operate, workarounds can begin to emerge.

An effective MSP creates enough structure to maintain consistency and oversight while still allowing the program to respond to changing business and workforce needs.

The objective is not more governance for its own sake. It is governance that helps teams make clearer, more consistent decisions.

Exceptions Are Normal. Letting Them Become the Norm Isn’t.

Every MSP needs room for exceptions.

A specialized requirement may need a different sourcing route. A business unit may have a unique hiring need. A new market may require a temporary process while the program adjusts.

The problem begins when those exceptions stop being temporary.

One team starts using a separate route. Another brings in a provider outside the established model. A workaround created for one requirement gradually becomes common practice.

Individually, these decisions may seem minor. Collectively, they can create gaps between the MSP model and the way external hiring is actually being managed.

Recurring exceptions can also be a signal that the original sourcing strategy, supplier model, governance rules, or workforce categories no longer reflect how the business actually operates.

That is why mature MSP programs need to look beyond whether the process exists and pay attention to where exceptions are becoming the norm.

The pattern of exceptions can sometimes tell you more about the health of a program than the existence of the process itself.

Performance Metrics Don’t Tell the Whole Story

A program can meet several operational metrics while still leaving larger performance issues unresolved.

Time to fill, fulfillment rates, spend, and compliance all provide useful information. But they should be considered alongside what is happening beneath those numbers.

Operational metrics show whether the process is moving. Outcome measures show whether the program is creating value.

That means asking questions such as:

• Are hiring managers satisfied with the support they receive?
• Are certain roles or skill areas consistently harder to fill?
• Is submission quality strong across different parts of the business?
• Are the same bottlenecks appearing repeatedly?
• Is supplier performance consistent across business units and workforce categories?
• Are teams increasingly relying on workarounds despite healthy operational KPIs?

These questions help reveal whether the MSP is simply meeting activity measures or delivering consistently across the broader program.

A program can report strong overall fulfillment, for example, while a particular business unit repeatedly bypasses the MSP for specialist roles. At an aggregate level, performance may appear healthy. Operationally, however, adoption is beginning to break down.

Looking at both activity and outcomes helps identify where the numbers may be masking a broader program issue.

Strong MSP Programs Keep Evolving

An MSP should not be treated as a model that is designed once and then left unchanged.

Workforce demand evolves. Supplier performance changes. New skills emerge. Business units develop different requirements. Sourcing channels that worked well at one point may become less effective as the talent market changes.

That makes continuous improvement an important part of MSP management.

Periodic reviews should look at more than KPI performance. They should examine supplier effectiveness, demand trends, process friction, changing workforce categories, emerging skill requirements, sourcing channel effectiveness, and areas where teams are creating their own workarounds.

The purpose is not to change the program constantly.

It is to recognize when the way the business operates has moved beyond the assumptions on which the original model was built.

A mature MSP keeps adjusting the operating model so that the program remains relevant rather than allowing the business to gradually adapt around the program.

Signs Your MSP May Need Attention

Not every program issue requires a redesign. Sometimes the model simply needs to be recalibrated around how the business now operates.

A few questions can help identify where that may be happening:

• Are hiring managers frequently going outside the MSP?
• Are exceptions increasing rather than declining?
• Are the same roles or skills repeatedly difficult to fill?
• Can leadership compare supplier performance consistently?
• Are different business units using different processes?
• Do operational KPIs look healthy while stakeholder satisfaction remains low?
• Has the MSP model changed as workforce demand has evolved?

If several of these patterns are appearing, the issue may not be the MSP concept itself.

The program may need greater clarity, stronger adoption, different sourcing approaches, or a recalibration of the operating model around current business needs.

Where Talent Harvest Fits In

Talent Harvest helps organizations strengthen MSP performance by looking at how the program is working in practice, not only how it was originally designed. We help identify where hiring processes are slowing, where adoption is inconsistent, where exceptions are becoming more frequent, and where the program may need greater clarity or support.

Our capabilities span MSP, direct sourcing, services procurement, workforce advisory, and specialized technology staffing, allowing us to support a wide range of workforce requirements within a single operating model.

Technology-focused workforce programs often place unique demands on an MSP because skill requirements can shift rapidly throughout a transformation lifecycle. A Dynamics 365 implementation may require architects and consultants early, developers and integration specialists during delivery, and support resources after go-live. SAP, Salesforce, cloud, and data transformation programs often create similar shifts in demand.

By combining MSP capabilities with deep expertise across enterprise technology talent, Talent Harvest helps organizations anticipate changing workforce requirements, align sourcing strategies to business needs, and maintain workforce continuity as programs evolve.

The objective is not simply to keep the program running. It is to help organizations build an MSP model that remains aligned with business priorities, adapts to changing workforce needs, and continues to deliver value as the organization grows and transforms.

Build a Stronger MSP with Talent Harvest

The most effective MSP programs do more than manage contingent talent. They help organizations maintain visibility, strengthen workforce decision-making, and respond to changing talent requirements with greater confidence.

The real measure of success is not how the program was designed. It is how well it continues to evolve as workforce needs, sourcing strategies, and business priorities change.

The post Why Some MSP Programs Perform Better Than Others appeared first on Talent Harvest.

For many organizations, the traditional approach begins when a hiring manager raises a requisition. The requirement is sent to suppliers, candidates are sourced, and the process moves toward fulfillment.

That model can work for immediate hiring needs. But as organizations manage more complex projects, specialized skills, multiple sourcing channels, and changing workforce requirements, starting with the requisition can mean starting too late.

That shift changes how organizations think about contingent talent. Instead of treating each requirement as an isolated hiring event, workforce planning can connect business demand, skills, sourcing strategy, supplier performance, and workforce data.

For business leaders, the impact goes beyond hiring efficiency. Better contingent workforce planning can improve project readiness, reduce reactive talent spend, strengthen supplier governance, and help critical programs secure specialist skills before shortages affect delivery.

Workforce Demand Should Come Before the Requisition

A requisition describes an immediate requirement. Workforce planning looks at the demand behind that requirement.

This distinction matters when organizations have recurring hiring needs, major transformation programs, seasonal workforce changes, or specialist skills that are difficult to secure quickly.

Consider a technology transformation program.

The skills required during planning and architecture may be different from those needed during implementation. Later, the organization may need testing, integration, support, or specialized resources for post-go-live activities.

If workforce planning begins only when each requirement is raised, sourcing teams are continually reacting to demand.

A more forward-looking approach asks:

• What programs are coming?
• Which skills will those programs require?
• When will those skills be needed?
• Which capabilities can be sourced internally?
• Which should be accessed through contingent talent?
• Which sourcing model is appropriate for each type of work?
• Where could supplier capacity become a constraint?

This shifts contingent workforce management from a series of individual transactions toward a more connected view of workforce demand.

A Smarter Approach to Contingent Talent Sourcing

Not every workforce requirement should be sourced in the same way.Organizations are increasingly combining different sourcing models depending on the type of work, skill requirement, and business need.

Traditional staffing suppliers may remain the right channel for many contingent roles. Direct sourcing can be useful where organizations want to build relationships with external talent or access known talent pools. Specialist providers may be appropriate when a requirement calls for highly specific expertise.

Project-based or outcome-based work may be better managed through services procurement, where governance focuses on suppliers, statements of work, milestones, deliverables, and spend. The objective is not to replace one sourcing model with another. It is to make a more informed decision about how different types of work should be sourced and managed.

That requires organizations to understand the relationship between workforce demand, skills, sourcing channels, suppliers, and business outcomes.

When Workforce Data Becomes More Than Reporting

Workforce data is often used to report what has already happened.

• How many requirements were opened?
• How quickly were they filled?
• Which suppliers submitted candidates?
• What did contingent workforce spend look like?

Those metrics are important. But their value increases when organizations use them to identify patterns that can inform future workforce decisions.

For example, data may reveal:

• recurring demand for the same skills across different business units
• roles that consistently take longer to fill
• suppliers that perform strongly for particular skill categories
• areas where demand is increasing
• requirements that frequently require exceptions or additional sourcing effort
• contingent workforce spend that is concentrated in particular programs or functions

When these patterns are visible, workforce data becomes more than reporting. It becomes an input into workforce planning.

The conversation can move from “How did we perform against this requirement?” to “What does this pattern tell us about the requirements that are coming next?”

What a Stronger MSP Model Looks Like

The next generation of MSP should not begin with the requisition.

It should begin with workforce demand.

As contingent workforce planning becomes more connected to business priorities, MSP programs need to move beyond coordinating hiring activity and help organizations understand where demand is building, which skills will be required, and how that work should be sourced.

A traditional model may look like:

Requisition → Supplier → Candidate → Placement

A more strategic model can look like:

Demand → Skills → Sourcing Strategy → Supplier / Direct Sourcing / Services → Fulfillment → Workforce Intelligence

The difference is not simply more process.

It is a different starting point.

A more strategic MSP model should move beyond requisition management and provide visibility into demand patterns, sourcing performance, supplier effectiveness, and workforce trends.

This can help connect the activities of talent acquisition, procurement, business leaders, suppliers, and workforce program teams around a more consistent view of external workforce demand.

The Business Case: Why Forward Planning Matters

For the C-suite, contingent workforce planning is not simply an HR or procurement process. It can affect how quickly organizations execute projects, how effectively they manage external workforce spend, and how prepared they are for changing skill requirements.

Cost

Better sourcing decisions and stronger supplier performance can help reduce fragmented spend and unnecessary reliance on reactive hiring.

Speed

Earlier visibility into upcoming demand can give sourcing teams more time to identify and engage talent before requirements become urgent.

Risk

Clearer workforce classification, supplier governance, and services procurement oversight can provide stronger control over how external work is engaged and managed.

Delivery

Major transformation programs depend on access to specialized skills. Identifying those needs earlier can help reduce the risk of talent constraints affecting delivery.

Capability

Organizations can make more informed decisions about when to build, buy, borrow, or contract the capabilities required to execute business priorities.

The value of forward planning is therefore not simply filling roles faster. It is creating a clearer connection between business demand and workforce capability.

Is Your Contingent Workforce Model Built for Forward Planning?

A stronger contingent workforce strategy should help organizations answer some basic questions.

• Can you see upcoming workforce demand before requisitions are raised?
• Do you know which requirements should use staffing suppliers, direct sourcing, or services procurement?
• Can you compare suppliers based on quality, speed, cost, and fulfillment performance?
• Can you identify recurring skill demand across programs and business units?
• Do procurement, talent, and business leaders have a shared view of workforce demand?

If several of these questions are difficult to answer, the challenge may not simply be sourcing capacity. It may be the way workforce demand, suppliers, and contingent talent are being managed.

Adding more suppliers or increasing recruiting activity may address an immediate capacity problem. But if the underlying issue is fragmented demand visibility, inconsistent sourcing decisions, or limited workforce intelligence, additional sourcing capacity may not solve the broader problem.

Technology Transformation Makes Forward Planning Even More Important

Technology transformation is a good example of why contingent workforce planning cannot remain purely reactive. Workforce demand rarely stays static across the lifecycle of an enterprise technology program.

A Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation may require solution architects early, functional consultants during design, developers and integration specialists during delivery, and support resources after go-live. SAP and Salesforce programs can create similar shifts in skill demand across the transformation lifecycle.

The challenge is not simply finding these skills.

It is understanding when they will be required and how the organization should access them.

Because Talent Harvest works across these technology ecosystems, we understand that workforce requirements can change as technology programs move from planning to implementation, delivery, and support.

That perspective can help organizations anticipate changing skill requirements instead of waiting for each need to become an urgent requisition.

How Talent Harvest Helps

Talent Harvest brings together MSP capabilities with enterprise technology staffing expertise to help organizations connect workforce planning, sourcing, supplier management, and specialized talent needs. The goal is not simply to manage more requisitions. It is to help organizations build a more connected view of workforce demand and make better decisions about how that demand should be addressed.

That can include coordinating contingent talent, sourcing channels, supplier relationships, workforce operations, direct sourcing, services procurement, and specialized technology staffing.

For organizations managing complex technology environments, this combination can be particularly valuable because workforce demand often changes alongside the transformation itself. The result is a more connected approach to planning, sourcing, and managing the external workforce.

Planning for What Comes Next

The future of contingent workforce management starts before the requisition.

Organizations need earlier visibility into workforce demand, clearer decisions about how work should be sourced, and better insight into supplier and talent performance.

Talent Harvest combines MSP capabilities with enterprise technology staffing expertise to help organizations connect workforce planning, sourcing, supplier management, and unique talent needs.

The post Why Contingent Workforce Planning Must Start Before The Requisition appeared first on Talent Harvest.

A traditional staffing engagement is primarily focused on supplying talent against an open requirement. A Managed Service Provider works across the broader external workforce program, connecting demand, sourcing channels, workforce processes, technology, services procurement, program data, and ongoing performance.

A modern MSP is not simply another staffing channel. It is an operating model for coordinating workforce demand, sourcing, suppliers, services procurement, technology, governance, and program performance.

The value of an MSP therefore goes beyond talent sourcing. It brings greater structure to how external workforce programs are coordinated, governed, measured, and managed across the organization.

A more coordinated MSP model can help reduce reactive hiring, improve supplier accountability, increase visibility into external workforce spend, and give critical programs earlier access to the skills they need.

A Modern MSP Should Create One Operating View

As workforce requirements expand, different teams can begin operating in different ways.

Hiring managers may use separate staffing partners. Procurement may manage services independently. HR may have limited visibility into external workers. Workforce information may sit across systems, providers, and sourcing channels.

An MSP helps bring these moving parts into a more consistent structure.

The aim is not simply to consolidate information. It is to create a clearer view of how external workforce demand is being managed across the organization.

For leadership, that can mean greater visibility into where workforce demand is coming from, how requirements are progressing, which sourcing channels are being used, how suppliers are performing, where workforce spend is increasing, and where hiring or workforce processes may need attention.

That broader view makes it easier to manage workforce decisions as part of a program rather than as a collection of individual requirements.

A Modern MSP Should Start Before the Requisition

A strong MSP should begin with a clear understanding of what the business needs.

Hiring volumes, recurring roles, specialized skills, project timelines, locations, current sourcing channels, and upcoming workforce requirements all help shape the right program.

With that foundation, the MSP can determine where direct sourcing makes sense, where specialist staffing expertise is needed, where services procurement requires greater coordination, and where existing processes can be strengthened.

This shifts the conversation from “How do we fill this requirement?” to “What workforce capability does the business need, and what is the right way to access it?”

The result is a workforce model shaped around business demand, skill requirements, and upcoming priorities rather than a series of isolated requisitions.

Different Talent Needs Require Different Sourcing Channels

Modern MSP programs increasingly need to coordinate multiple ways of accessing external talent.

Traditional staffing partners remain important, but they are not the only route. Direct sourcing can help organizations build access to known or interested talent. Specialized providers can support difficult skill areas. Services procurement can provide greater structure for project- or outcome-based work, including supplier engagement, statements of work, milestones, deliverables, and spend.

The role of the MSP is to help these channels work together.

That means determining which route is appropriate for a requirement, maintaining clear processes across those channels, and helping the organization understand where each is delivering value.

The objective is not to use every channel for every requirement. It is to create a sourcing model that matches the type of work, the skills required, the urgency of demand, and the way the organization wants to engage external talent.

Visibility Across the Workforce

As external hiring moves across different teams, locations, and sourcing channels, organizations need a clearer view of workforce activity.

An MSP can bring this information together, helping leaders understand open demand, sourcing activity, supplier performance, hiring progress, workforce spend, and areas where demand is increasing or processes may need attention.

This becomes particularly important when workforce demand is distributed across multiple business units or when different types of external work are being managed through different channels.

Better visibility makes it easier to identify patterns that may not be obvious when requirements are viewed individually.

A recurring specialist skill shortage, a supplier consistently underperforming in one area, or growing demand within a particular business unit can become a program-level issue rather than a series of disconnected hiring challenges.

Consistent Governance Without Losing Flexibility

External hiring can become difficult to manage when different teams follow different processes and rely on different sourcing routes.

An MSP can strengthen governance by creating clearer processes for raising requirements, engaging suppliers, approving external workers, managing services, and tracking workforce activity across the organization.

But consistency should not mean removing flexibility.

Different business units may have different operating requirements. Specialist work may require different sourcing approaches. Project-based services may need different controls from contingent staffing.

The objective is not to centralize every decision, but to create consistent governance without removing the flexibility different teams may need.

That balance is important. Too little structure can create fragmented processes and limited visibility. Too much rigidity can encourage teams to work around the program.

A modern MSP needs to provide enough structure to create consistency while allowing the operating model to respond to the realities of the business.

When Does an MSP Model Need to Change?

Not every workforce challenge requires a new MSP. Sometimes the existing model simply needs to evolve.

A few signals can indicate that the current approach may no longer reflect how the organization operates:

• Different business units use different staffing suppliers and processes.
• Leadership cannot clearly see total contingent workforce demand or spend.
• Specialist roles consistently take longer to fill.
• Services procurement and contingent staffing are managed separately with little coordination.
• Supplier performance is difficult to compare across the program.
• Recurring roles continue to be treated as isolated requisitions.
• Workforce planning begins only after managers submit requirements.

When several of these conditions exist, the issue may be less about finding more suppliers and more about redesigning how the external workforce program operates.

The right response may involve changes to sourcing channels, governance, technology, workforce planning, supplier strategy, or the way different categories of external work are managed.

The important question is not simply whether the MSP is functioning.

It is whether the model still reflects how the business actually acquires and manages external talent.

The MSP Model Should Evolve with Workforce Needs

Workforce needs do not stay the same. Hiring volumes shift, new skills emerge, business units expand, and different projects create different talent requirements.

An MSP should be able to adapt with those changes by regularly reviewing sourcing approaches, workforce needs, processes, supplier performance, and how the program is operating.

That means looking beyond whether requirements are being filled.

It means understanding which skills are becoming harder to access, where demand is increasing, which sourcing channels are producing results, where suppliers are performing well, and where the existing operating model is creating friction.

The aim is to keep the model aligned with how the organization is hiring today while preparing for what it may need next.

A modern MSP should therefore be treated as an evolving operating model, not a static program implemented once and left unchanged.

How Talent Harvest Helps

Talent Harvest approaches MSP as a workforce solution rather than simply another source of candidates. We help organizations bring greater coordination across contingent talent, sourcing channels, workforce operations, services procurement, direct sourcing, and workforce advisory.

But the value of that model becomes particularly relevant when workforce demand involves specialized technology skills.

Technology transformation programs can create changing workforce requirements across different stages of delivery. A Dynamics 365 implementation, for example, may require solution architects during planning, functional consultants during design, developers and integration specialists during delivery, and support resources after go-live. SAP and Salesforce programs can create similar shifts in demand across project stages.

Talent Harvest combines MSP capabilities with enterprise technology staffing expertise, helping organizations plan for those changing skill requirements rather than react to them only after requisitions are raised.

By understanding workforce demand first, Talent Harvest helps shape an MSP model around the organization’s hiring volumes, sourcing needs, existing processes, skill requirements, and operating environment.

The priority is to keep the model relevant as workforce needs change.

Build a Smarter MSP Strategy with Talent Harvest

The goal is a workforce program that provides stronger access to talent, better visibility across external hiring, stronger supplier accountability, and a clearer structure for managing changing workforce needs.

A modern MSP is not simply about filling more roles through a managed process.

It is about creating an operating model that connects workforce demand to the right sourcing channels, governance, data, suppliers, and capabilities and continues to evolve as the business does.

Interviews is a part of the communication process and a skill which we all can possess. It is an integral part of the selection process and if done diligently will lead to desired outcome in building the human capital for the organisation. Interviews to be effective needs to be designed in a such a way that it is structured and directed to meet the end objective. Employers and candidates have their own set of onus during planning stage and the key to success is adequate preparation and upbeat about the upcoming session.

For the Candidates :

Candidates many times are caught off -guard by the interviewer during the session as they lack preparation. Assignment of mentors for coaching the candidate is a vital step in the right direction. Following simple steps will go a long way in make it purposeful.

• • • First and foremost do a through research about the organisation, service lines, business model,leadership and its people. It is important for you to reflect on your past and structure your answers accordingly. Research social media (Linkedin) and talk to people in the industry and collate data. Only data speaks and rest are all opinion.
    • Always reach the venue 20 minutes before the schedule time if it is a personal discussion.
    • Offer a warm and firm handshake the moment you meet the interviewer/Hiring manager.
      Selection process in this technological transformation age is mostly done through skype, video conferencing etc. Please ensure that you are technologically able and ensure gadgets are in good working condition before the interview.
    • Always quote real time examples in answering the question. Interviewers look forward to scenarios and not interested in theoretical answers.
    • Be confident and assertive ( in saying “NO” wherever required)
    • Maintain straight eye contact with the interviewer and make right gestures. It instils positive vibe and interviewer will get to feel that you are confident and engaged.
    • If it is many to one interviews ( More than one interviewer) then non verbal communication is more important as people watch your body language.
    • Interviews are all about creating impression and first 5 minutes is key to get the dream job that you are cut out for.
    • Listen, take a pause, relate before your answer questions. Don’t jump the gun.
    • Talk slowly,clearly and to the point. Don’t beat around the bush. It might give a wrong impression and sometimes miss the objective.
    • Remember hiring managers want problem solvers. Answers to be tuned towards solving problems.Subtantiate the answers with past experience.
    • Every interview is different. Past performance is not an indicator for future success. Approach every interview differently.
    • Capitalize the opportunity given to you in asking the right questions to the interviewer.Your questions should always revolve around role and culture . Don’t discuss compensation. It is a hygiene factor.
    • Remember employer will be equally conscious about making the process right. So give your best shot and job will be yours.

Engaged organizations grew profits as much as three times their competitors. Highly engaged organizations have the ability to cut staff turnover by 87 % and increase productivity by 20%. Engagement in the context of Talent Management refers to how employee gets connected emotionally and intellectually to the larger purpose of the organizational goals.It is described as employees willingness to go the extra mile not merely arising out of an obligation or pay check, but because work matters professionally and personally to him.

Engagement like “ culture” is a “product” of how a company operates. It cannot be improved on its own but has few drivers like

• Culture
• Strategy, Mission Statement
• Career Development
• Learning & development
• Recognition
• Timely Feedback
• Challenging tasks
• Senior Leadership

Let’s take a look at some relevant elements of engagement an organisation need to look for while preparing the recipes.

Clarity 

People need to know what is expected out of them at work. Clarity can be improved by way of goal setting. With organization centric goal management employees throughout align the individual goals with organisational goals.Through this everyone can see they are part of large team.

Support

Employees needs the tools and training to achieve goals and objectives. Support is  performance issue too but we need to wear the engagement glasses to view it.

Fitment

Employees should feel that there is an absolute fitment to the job. Utilization of skills and opportunity to grow in line with one’s skill matrix creates engagement in an employee which improves productivity.

Feedback

Feedback is neither about praise or criticism. It is about saying something that employer find it useful. It may take many forms from formal to informal like regularly scheduled one to one meetings, coaching, email, peer reviews. Informal can be over a cup of coffee.

Development

Organization has the responsibility to develop employees for the future ensuring talent gaps are filled and become future proof by adapting to emerging technologies.

Also we can look at few more engagement programmes that are powerful and purposeful;

• Assign one of the company values to a person who represented it most in last quarter through voting process
• Assign 30 minutes in a day to pursue personal projects. This may trigger creativity and energy flow that will benefit rest of working hours.
• Assign buddy/ mentor to a new comer as mentor will be a friend and guide who will help an employee to solve his problems.
• Have team photos of your team on the wall. Group, funny photos, theme photos can create greater engagement.
• Remind people of company’s mission and vision. People should be told what they are doing and why they are doing.
• Encourage and Recognise innovation and have a rewards & recognition mechanism in place. Recognise people in public.
• Celebrate achievements whether big or small.Refill the energy tanks which fuel inspiration to rest of the colleagues.
• Show respect to people who are in different hierarchies. This is a cornerstone for effective employee engagement.

Mantra of Effective Engagement

Higher Involvement= Higher Performance= Higher Retention

Get social. Have fun, have Team building competition and unleash the creativity in other walks of life.
