Senior leaders play a really important part in how your company culture is shaped and in turn how engaged your people feel. They should be walking and talking your values and behaviours.

Support yourmanagers

Develop your managers and recognise their positive behaviours. They’re crucial to engagement levels and as they say “employees join great companies, but quit bad bosses”.

Communicate Make sure your communication is consistent, transparent and in line with your purpose and values. Otherwise you risk lack of buy-in and trust which is counter-productive.
