Internal communication between the employer and employees of any organization is essentially important towards smooth operation in the establishment and productivity of the employees. In light of this, it is expedient that school proprietors regularly communicate with the staff of their school and for good reasons.

WHY IS EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT IMPORTANT?

Nobody wants to feel insignificant in any organization, everyone wants to be heard and feel his/her contribution should be appreciated. The same goes for the staff working in your school. Truth be told, these staffs are the major reason why the population of the school is sustained and even increased. They are the ones who have a personal attachment with the students, understand what they need, and therefore hold a more viable opinion as to what is needed to make the school better.

Additionally, people need to be engaged to be productive. It will be quite difficult for a person to give his/her best if he/she is not engaged. People naturally believe that carrying them along shows they are appreciated and therefore they feel more inclined to do more. Once they see that their opinions are welcomed and appreciated, they invariably get more productive.

HOW TO GO ABOUT GETTING EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

The conventional way of getting the ideas of the staff most likely will be during face-to-face round table meetings organized by the school owner at regular time intervals. This is very effective in getting them involved in the decision-making process in the school. However, sometimes, it might not be quite convenient to get everyone gathered together, or when decisions have to be taken during holidays, it might be a challenge to get everyone together. Therefore, another fast, cheap yet effective communication channel becomes imperative.
