10 Tools to Encourage Employee Mobilization in your Organization

Jan 1 / C3pH

Introduction

Mobilizing and retaining employees is an important issue for the vast majority of organizations today. And with good reason: the 2020 pandemic has left many employees feeling deeply unwell, and many have voluntarily chosen to leave their jobs.

The talent shortage and fierce competition are forcing organizations to rethink their employee mobilization and retention strategies.

In the age of Management 3.0, adopting innovative management practices is essential to recruiting and retaining the best talent in your organization.

In this article, we talk about 10 tools and practical advice, taken from our e-learning course "Retaining and mobilizing employees with innovative management practices", to help you effectively implement your strategy to mobilize and retain employees in your organization.

Employee Mobilization : Definition

Employee mobilization is not just about whether a person likes their job or not. It's not just about whether someone is motivated or not.

Taking an interest in employee mobilization and measuring it will tell you how committed your team is to their work and how aligned they are with your organization's values

Mobilized employees will have a clear vision and understanding of the goals they want to achieve. 

As a manager or leader, understanding the level of mobilization in your organization is important because you can develop strategies to continuously improve mobilization and encourage retention.

You wouldn't want your employees to leave for the competition, would you? By implementing a well thought-out employee mobilization and retention strategy, you're betting on the long-term success of your organization and avoiding the significant costs associated with a high turnover rate.

The Importance of Employee Mobilization

Organizations that implement an innovative employee mobilization strategy can demonstrate a steady improvement in productivity, customer satisfaction and employee well-being.

We're not just saying this. It's proven by studies conducted by Gallup and Harvard Business Review . 

When your employees are mobilized, the work environment becomes a place of positive attitudes. 

A number of studies have shown that employee commitment is an essential element of high-performance organizations.

They show the importance of innovative management practices that promote mobilization to increase productivity and well-being.

Some of the most relevant studies include :

  • An analysis carried out in 2016 by Gallup which states that committed teams have less turnover, 21% higher profitability and 10% higher customer ratings.

  • Best Buy is regarded as a benchmark for calculating return on investment. An increase in employee mobilization of just 0.01% in a Best Buy shop is worth $100,000 to the company, according to a study by Harvard Business review.

  • According to a Gallup survey between 2020 and 2021, 74% of disengaged workers are either actively looking for a new job or on the lookout for opportunities.

  • Mobilized employees are 87% less likely to leave their jobs, according to the Oxford Handbook of Positive Psychology at Work. This limits the costs involved in recruiting and training new employees.

In our e-learning course "Retaining and mobilising employees through innovative management practices", we share multiple studies and practical solutions to encourage employee mobilization and retention in your organization.
