Engaging people: five tried-and-tested ways to strengthen your team with Eric Stone

 A vital component of scaling a business successfully is getting the right people on board – and making sure they love coming to work. Performance is intrinsically linked with how well your team gels and communicates as problems are dealt with and new ideas are brought to life. 

So join us for another insight-rich discussion with Eric Stone, veteran exec of Enterprise Holdings as he and host Phil Rose dig deeper into the five factors of employee engagement. (Find episode 1 here).  

As Eric lifts each one off the page, we get some invaluable and practical tips on implementation for maximum impact. 

Listen to the five tried-and-tested elements behind his success: 

• Ensure everyone has a strong relationship with their manager. 
• Be crystal clear about what’s expected of each individual and the goals they need to hit. 
• To do this, they have the right outcome-focused materials, equipment and information. 
• Personal goals are given the room they deserve alongside professional ones. 
• Recognition and reward fuel passion and commitment when they’re relevant and meaningful. What you offer will strike differently with different people.
