Whatever may be the size of the organization, engaging employees and developing their intellectuals is essential for growth and survival of the organization. In providing employee engagement activity are you still following traditional means of team bonding and team outing at resorts? Then you are so old-fashioned!! Good news is that at-least start-ups have resorted to innovative ways of retaining and attracting talent. They are sponsoring hobby classes or gift bike or jewelry to keep their employees motivated to ensure that company culture is preserved.
Yoga and Meditation are being slowly replaced by Tai Chi and Tae Kwon Do as forms of exercise to increase your balance, reduce stress and engage in a moving meditation. Soft Martial Arts are being taught to women employees as self-defense. Personality Development programs are no more just for top management, event entry-level people are also taught how to behave professionally. Companies are sponsoring hobby classes like culinary art,music,dance,paragliding,cycling, adventure sports like dirt biking, rafting, scuba diving so employees are encouraged to pursue their passion. DJ nights help people to vent out stress and get rejuvenated. Community outreach programs not just help the needy but also employees carry with them some sort of satisfaction and accomplishment.
It is the need of the hour that, organizations should convert from traditionalism to contemporary means of providing employee engagement activities. With growing opportunity and greater flow of information employees today want to be in best of work places which demonstrates commitment to employee's well-being.

It is very important that your employees stay active when they are at work! Then only then can produce the most effective work hours.
Now, there are many reasons which make an employee active! The foremost factor is the kind of work profile that the employee has and how it matches to his interests irrespective of his education and professional background. The corporate sector always builds the human capital by carefully choosing people with required experience for the department he/she is being chosen for. Fair enough! Companies do not have time and resource to experiment on this front unless they have a structured program where they can test an employee on various roles and choose the best role he/she is fit for. But many people have the ability to perform better than the experienced fellas!
A few days back I and one of my friends were having a conversation where a qualified CA had excelled in the Marketing domain and won a big deal for the company he was given an opportunity in. But that was in the U.S. where organizations tend to give more freedom for the employees to give a try in their field/s of interests.
The scene is slowly changing in India too with many companies realizing that they need to start studying employees better and keep them engaged (employee engagement). Ultimately it is each individual’s abilities that add up to the competitive and strategic position that the company holds in the market. And the more multi-skilled an employee is, the more risk free & successful is the organization.
