This recent research on the fundamental drivers of engagement in the new remote work environment reveals the following strategies and tactics that companies can use to truly engage their teams:
- Interesting and challenging work
- Granting of trust and autonomy (including flexible and remote work)
- Access to information, including opportunities for growth (learning, assignments, jobs, promotions)
- Frequent interaction with direct managers
- Online tools to boost recognition and appreciation
- Cash, points, and open-ended gift cards
- Time off
- Travel
- Experiences (e.g. dinner for two)
- Gifts presented by a manager
“Our expert interviewees emphasize tangible rewards like travel, meetings, experiences, and points-based recognition platforms as most vital in encouraging communications and collaboration among the remote/hybrid workforce.”
