Thanks!
I know that I am engaged at my job, I always come in happy and generally leave happy. I make decent money and I work 6am-4pm Mon-Thurs, which to me is the best 40 hour schedule you can get. When I do things I am make sure they are done right to the best of my ability.
The reason I came up with this is because I see so many bottom dwellers just taking up space with no real purpose. They come to work - drink their coffee - smoke their pack of cigs - eat their cheese sandwhich - and then punch out and go home. They do not put anything into what they do; of course you have your select few that actually care but they are about 30% here. Most of the employees here have been enabled so long to do the bare minimum and get away with it that they do not know anything else. They have never been held accountable for their actions.
Well I am been trying to come up with more contructive ways to get people motivated to do the right thing. Like providing them with structured trainging and well prepared documents for reference to daily tasks. Sometimes I find with certain people is that they are not generally lazy but just untrained and misinformed which in turn makes them gun shy when it comes to doing anything extra. Once they are trained they totally changed. Those fall into the disengaged category, they are disengaged because they do not have the motivation to learn it themselves, they have to be taught. Some once they are taught become engaged because then they have gained some confidence.
