Monthly Employee Engagement Ideas for a More Motivated Year

Start the year strong by setting up a foundation for clear communication for the months ahead. Information should flow freely across all levels of your organization, with no bottlenecks or barriers that leave employees in the dark. 

Clear communication isn’t just about sending out updates – it’s about fostering an environment where ideas are shared, feedback is valued and employees feel truly connected to your company’s vision. 

TIPS: Use employee engagement tools like Inspirus to streamline communication with features like team activity feeds, instant messaging and company-wide Spotlight areas. 

Regularly host all-hands meetings, town halls or Q&A luncheons where senior leadership can engage directly with all team members and employees can share their thoughts. Encourage direct managers to have regular check-ins to discuss goals, challenges and feedback. 

Communication Checklist 

• Are monthly updates from leadership shared in a way that reaches all employees, including remote employees and those in different locations?
• Do team members have digital platforms and channels to freely offer ideas or ask questions?
• Is feedback from employees actively sought and addressed?
• Are new hires integrated into these communication practices to feel informed and involved?
• Does your system for updates include channels for two-way dialogue, demonstrating your employees’ value to your company?
