Recent research and news from Gallup polls indicate that “although employee engagement is rising, the majority of the world’s workers are still quiet quitting. An improving job market may encourage those workers to quit for real.”

The question is, if your employees fit into this category of workers, what are you doing to boost employee engagement and prevent them from quiet quitting?

One of the best known, proven ways to boost employee engagement is to create strategies that don’t just get them engaged but keep them engaged. Sound like common sense? Sure it does. But lots of leaders out there are great at kickstarting engagement but not sustaining it for their people—and yet there are ways to ensure engagement for the long haul.

It’s called professional development—and not just the kind that gives your team members or the organization at large one off opportunities to skill up. Effective professional development aligns with both short-term and long-term goals. It keeps people not just learning and feeling more empowered on a daily basis, but for the long haul. And, in particular, professional development, backed by an accountability system, won’t just develop individuals in your organization but build culture-wide engagement.

Employees who work at organizations that experience day-in, day-out culture-wide engagement tend to be more loyal, happier and productive. And that means you can more easily profit and reward them for their success, further giving them less reason to become less engaged, start surfing for jobs, and quiet quit.
