Some of the top drivers of engagement include work-life balance, strong communication from management, performance feedback, and career development and training.

Career development remains front and center for job seekers and employers alike — candidates want it and companies want to offer it. However, not all career development strategies are created equal. Each person has individual professional development needs, and one-size-fits-all development training won’t cut it for the modern employee. Training and development courses eat up a lot of time and energy from employees.

I would say employees with a sense of purpose are most productive. When it comes to what makes us our most productive, it seems to me that we need both passion and purpose. It seems logical that if you’re doing work that doesn’t align with your passion and purpose, you probably won’t be super productive at it. However, I can also see how an employee could have passion and purpose but not be doing the work they want to do…and therefore, not be very productive.

However, the dissolution of the career ladder as well as persistent job insecurity have eroded mid-level managers’ sense of loyalty. As Harvard Business School aptly points out, a paradox has therefore arisen where the importance of middle managers is growing, but their skills are not standing up to their requirements, and their sense of career security is decreasing. The role they play in increasingly flat organizations should justify investments in their development.

While completely eliminating meetings may be nearly impossible, there are ways to reduce the time spent in them and maximize their productivity. Understanding the meeting’s purpose will also help participants stay on topic, creating a more productive meeting environment.
