Strategies for Aligning Employee Actions with Vision:
Communicate the vision clearly and frequently in a simple, inspiring, and relevant way through various channels and formats. Examples: meetings, newsletters, videos, posters, etc., to reinforce the vision and keep it fresh in the employees' minds.
Involve the employees in the vision. Solicit feedback, suggestions, and opinions on the vision and how to achieve it. Empower employees to participate in the planning and execution of the vision, such as setting goals, developing strategies, and measuring progress allowing employees to ensure their needs and aspirations are valued.
Acknowledge and appreciate the employees who demonstrate behaviors and outcomes that are aligned with the vision. The recognition and reward should be timely, specific, and meaningful, and should link the employees' achievements to the organization's vision and values.
These strategies can elevate the voices!
