Tip 3 - Take your staff's suggestions seriously
Asking your staff for their ideas and opinions is one way of keeping them engaged. But you need to take their suggestions seriously, if you want to keep them engaged.
It’s important to pay more than just lip-service to the idea of consultation. Ask for your staff's opinions in a genuine way. Encourage discussion about any suggestions or ideas with them and other staff. If you like what you hear, run with it. If you think it won’t work – or you don’t have the resources to carry it out – give a good reason why.
