Re-engaging the workforce in a post-pandemic world has been a challenge. Employee expectations and demographics are changing rapidly and the expectancies of the new workforce must be met. Local government wages may not be able to keep pace with the competitive market salaries, so we must highlight our job stability and the meaningful, long-term benefits of working in County government. Now, more than ever, building esprit de corps among the employees helps add to the overall satisfaction of their roles and foster loyalty to the organization. How does an Organization exceed employee expectations and lift morale to produce excellence in the workplace? By creating an Employee Advisory Committee (EAC) to communicate, engage, and motivate your workforce! The EAC works enthusiastically to promote employee activities, to participate in morale boosting social outings, and encourage employees, in a productive and professional manner, to provide input on employee policies and procedures. Promoting this model of representative democracy in the work place yields a more motivated workforce, fosters personal confidence, and stimulates creativity and initiative from the employees and their departments. An engaged workforce will yield better results overall, and your organization as a whole will be greater than the sum of its parts.
