Engagement Specialist - HR
Role Overview:
An employee engagement specialist helps a company to discover how to keep employees satisfied and to retain them for longer periods. The engagement specialist may do interviews, focus groups and surveys with employees. Then this data, along with data such as turnover or attrition, is analyzed in order to determine why employees are leaving or why they are not satisfied with the work they are doing.
Engagement activities are created and implemented by the engagement specialist. These may involve contests, employee awards, social events and other activities to promote the culture of the company. Some of the outreach to employees may be done through the company's intranet and/or through social media. Employees may also be engaged through newsletters, town halls and meetings. It is important to gather employee feedback in order to determine their feelings and issues they may have about the activities. From there, activities may have to be modified.
Volunteer, philanthropic and charitable efforts may also be encouraged by the engagement specialist in order to get employees involved in the community. The employee engagement specialist may work with other departments in order to understand employee engagement needs and to come up with plans. The ability to work well independently and to prioritize and meet deadlines is important. Good research skills along with good communication skills are essential.
