Staff Engagement Officer - the essentials

Daniela

Hi Everyone,

I have just started my role as a Staff Engagement Officer and this is a new role at my work place so there are a lot of opportunities to get my own stamp on everything I do. I am based within the Staff Development team and being asked to provide support on existing and newly created projects e.g. I am being asked to get 20 people on the Leadership and Management staff apprenticeships - where to start from?

My understanding is that this is a key role within the organisation and I am thinking I have to engage with all stakeholders but where to start from?  

If anyone had an experience as a Staff Engagement Officer could you please let me have your advice as to how to give it a good start with my job? There is a CIPD training course on Employee Engagement but that is too expensive and not sure if the organisation where I work will invest in something like that. I know there is a lot of literature re employee engagement but I need some essentials and practice based advice.

Many thanks,

Daniela

  • It is slightly tangentially outside the box, but I would really recommend you look at three books: ‘Predictably Irrational’ (Dan Airlely), ‘Thinking Fast and Slow’ (Daniel Kahneman), and ‘Nudge’ (Thaler & Sunstein). All three are key players in the field of Behavioural Economics. They have proved utterly invaluable in showing me how people think the way they do, and how to help them think the way you want them to. They’re also really good, fun reads.
