The next level of employee engagement: let your team run your initiatives. Things that aren’t part of their day to day.
It’s a win on multiple fronts. Employee run initiatives lets them set the direction and tone. They can take ownership of areas outside their everyday domain. Expanding their range and skill set.
And perhaps most importantly, you get more shit done.
At Hirewell we do a few things:
Content creation. We don't have any dedicated writers. Our team does it all. The topics, the writing, the perspectives, etc. Everyone gets to grow their writing skills. And the takes are from people with actual domain knowledge of the area.
Internal DEI committee. We believe in diversity and inclusion. And part of that is allowing the team to choose and lead the initiatives we take on.
Charity & community. Our team is passionate about community involvement and giving back. They have free reign to choose and organize the initiatives.
Just a few examples. Curious to hear what other companies are doing (so I can totally steal it).
What does your company let employees lead?
