How Managers Can Leverage the Neuroscience of Engagement in the Workplace with Don Rheem
A study by Gallup estimated about 70% of the factors that influence employee engagement are owned by managers. Under each manager exists a micro-culture that has a significant impact on an employee’s daily behavior. It’s the managers responsibility then to create conditions where people look forward to coming to work, yet here’s the challenging part….. managers’ haven’t been taught how to do it.
In this week’s episode, we learn from CEO of E3 Solutions, Don Rheem, about the importance of leveraging neuroscience to drive employee engagement, as well as the criticality of upskilling managers with the scientific know-how to manage engagement on teams. As Don mentions in his latest book, Thrive by Design: The Neuroscience that Drives High Performance Cultures, “Great leadership is not rocket science, it’s brain science.”
One of the last untapped reservoirs of increased productivity, retention, and engagement is a simple understanding of what neuroscience tells us is at the core of the conditions the brain needs to be in to operate at its fullest capacity.
