Engagement: traits of committed employees

Do you want to kick off 2017 with a robust organizational culture and a highly engaged workforce? The process of selecting and developing employees with specific traits and behaviors is instrumental in transforming our organization into a model that attracts top talent and serves as an impressive showcase for potential customers.

Fostering a cohesive and motivated team is paramount in building an organization that places a premium on its core values and the individuals who embody them. The key to success lies in having professionals who can collaborate effectively towards a shared objective and celebrate even the smallest team victories.

While technical expertise is certainly valuable, individuals who cannot function cohesively as a team or lack commitment can lead to talent attrition or disruptions akin to the breakups of iconic bands like Mecano, Héroes del Silencio, or Take That.

Leaders should instill trust in their teams, assist each member in understanding their role within the organization, and foster open lines of communication.

To achieve the coveted engagement of our employees, we must look for individuals who resonate with our organization's values and exhibit certain essential traits. Here are some of the ideal characteristics and behaviors that can ensure your team excels in any situation, regardless of your organizational culture (if you are not in a leadership role but aspire to be a committed team member, these points are equally relevant):

  • Crystal-clear vision
    Employees who grasp the importance of their work tend to be more diligent and responsible. Every team member should comprehend their role in achieving specific objectives. When they find motivation in the organization's measurable and realistic goals, they are driven to strive for success. Each individual on the team should understand the value their contributions bring to the overall effort.
  • Active participation
    Team members with proactive personalities feel less resistant to change. They come prepared for team meetings, actively engage in project discussions, and willingly take the initiative to facilitate progress. These individuals often volunteer for tasks beyond their initial assignments.
  • Flexibility
    Adaptability is key; it entails managing evolving situations without becoming destabilized or paralyzed. A flexible team member can consider various viewpoints and is open to compromise when necessary. They don't become stuck in a routine and will readily move forward when the team is ready to progress.
  • Innovation
    Identifying trends and a willingness to embrace a change in mindset is inspiring and motivating for the entire team. Employees who are deeply committed to their organization tend to be assertive yet receptive to new approaches and opportunities. Those who are aligned with the organization are always searching for fresh and more efficient methods to propose ideas and contribute. The desire to enhance work speed and quality fuels their quest for innovative procedures.
  • Communicate, communicate, communicate!
    If essential information is not adequately communicated within the team, errors may occur and work can slow down. The most successful teams are open to feedback and welcome diverse opinions, promoting constructive communication. They actively seek different perspectives and fresh ideas. 
When every team member comprehends the objectives, problems to be addressed, and the tasks that need completion, work flows smoothly, and quality consistently improves. Furthermore, employees feel connected to the overall achievement. Knowing how to request and receive information characterizes the best teams where members respect one another and value diverse opinions.
